One of UC Santa Cruz’s most unique courses is the Photo Field Research Quarter (PFRQ), offered during Summer Session only, where students spend 19 days camping throughout California while learning and improving their photography skills along the way! 📸💫 Students must apply during spring quarter to be accepted into the course which has no prerequisite requirements, is open to all majors, and the course even fulfills the PR-C General Education requirement! Personally I had an amazing experience during the PFRQ, from making friends, to gaining confidence in myself as an artist, to learning about living on the road, and to becoming more curious about the world around me, I can easily say the PFRQ experience changed my perspective on life for the better. #ucsc #ucsantacruz #photography #universityofcalifornia #collegelife
