Usually 2 years for an Associate's, or 4 years for a Bachelor's!.

There are other schools that can help you can get your degree faster!. I go to the Art Institute, and here it takes a little less than 2 years to get your Associate's, or 3 years to get a Bachelor's!. There is also a diploma program that only takes 1 year!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You don't necessarily need to have a degree to do any kind of photography!. A fashion photographer will have an extensive portfolio of glamor shots!. Clients generally will not ask for educational credentials, but rather want to see examples of the photographers work!. Photography is one area in which skill is more important than a piece of paper that says you passed all the tests!. So, there really is no definite answer to your question!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you already have an AA from a community college, you can usually spend two years at Art Center, Brooks or RIT and get your degree!.

Fashion photography is a specialty approached AFTER school!. School gives you all the skills necessary to shoot anywhere, any time, with any camera, film or digital!. Spending time as an assistant learning a specific field of photography is part of the 'experience' one has to get after schoolWww@QuestionHome@Com

Almost any University offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (BFA)!. You can have an emphasis in photography!. Those are 4 year degrees!.

Private art colleges also offer degrees in Photography, which would also be 4 year degrees!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
