check out Art schools such as the Art Institutes... they also offer degrees in Photography!

I took Principles of Photography in my school as an elective and I believe that's one of the beginning classes in Photography... pretty neat... i like it... I'm an Animation major though!

Good luck!

Answer 2

My local community college offers beginning, intermediate, and advanced courses in Photoshop that'll teach you how to use all the tools, but a lot of it is practicing yourself.

I took an introductory film photography course where we worked in the darkroom to develop our pictures, and the basic techniques I learned there have actually helped me a lot when using Photoshop.

The key is to work around with it yourself, though. You can watch Bob Ross teach you to paint a mountain vista, but you won't be able to do it yourself unless you work on it.

Here is a link to information about the Photography BA program at the Art Institute of CO (the school I go to). If you scroll to the bottom, you can see all the classes required to graduate.
