NYIP Mission Statement

The New York Institute of Photography seeks to provide the highest level of distance education training in the art, technique, and business of photography, while providing a high level of service and support to every student.

We strive to be the leading non-traditional academic institution educating people motivated to improve their lives through photography. We empower students to achieve their self-improvement goals through flexible, convenient, affordable, and highly relevant programs of study. We seek to support different learning styles through our multi-media materials and our student advisor program. With our low tuition, flexible payment plans, and “No-Risk” refund policy, it is our goal to offer the highest level of photographic training to students worldwide.

Objectives and Assessment

Our primary goal is to provide training that allows all students who enroll in an NYIP program to improve their skills and to take better photographs.

We aim to provide all students with the highest level of support in all aspects of photography. This is achieved by having student advisors who are available to students for any type of question relating to their studies or to any aspect of photography. Our advisors are all professional photographers and their feedback regarding student comments and concerns allow us to continually reevaluate our program.

We measure our success based on several factors: student completion rates, feedback solicited from our students, our graduates, our teachers and our student advisors, as well as regular surveys that we conduct with these groups and meetings we hold with our staff and faculty.
