Hi. I am currently a high school junior and I have started looking at colleges. I've always wanted to study math or physics in college, but this past year I've picked up photography and now I want to do a double major in both. I'm looking at schools like stanford, harvard, columbia, georgetown, carneigie mellon..etc I know some of these schools have fine arts or art history major, but how can you have a concentration in photography? I'm afraid that being an art major will be very hard for me since I have not taken a lot of art classes in HS. what schools have a rather liberal art department where I can take mostly photography classes?

No offense, but Linkin didn't do his homework...
Try www.collegeboard.com,
search on photography- you should get at least 290 hits- with MANY large universities and art schools. Contrary to the above, Photography is a popular and booming college major and career choice. Best of luck to you!

You have to check to see if they even offer it. Photography is actually not a common major. I'm actually not aware of any major college that offers a photography major. It's difficult to have a broad enough course offering to make it into a degree. Photography is a new technology. Therefore, you're not going to find as many "masters" to study like you would in art.
Usually, photography deals with the technical aspects of it. That's a junior college/community college type of course of study.

You might want to look at Rochester Inst' of Technology (RIT) they have a fairly well respected math program as well as one of the countries best photo programs. Be warned, both are very difficult programs so you better be wicked smart and resigned to no social life :) (but then it's RIT, not a big party school anyway)

You may have to check under visual arts or other headings instead of photography.
