$You\u2019re a PMA Major\/Minor: What\u2019s Next?!$

To be a PMA Major/Minor in 2025 is to enter a creative world where you receive training and opportunities that equip you to become responsible, ethical creative professionals. But one of the many problems with entering in the media industries of film, television, and theater lies with the lack of clear pathways to careers and gainful employment.
In this series we call “What’s Next?!”, PMA faculty Dr. Kristen Warner will lead workshop sessions that begin to help answer that question. The focus of each session will address a range of topics from internships and graduate programs (MFAs, critical studies MA/PhD) to the dreaded art of writing cover letters/personal statements.
