What can you do with a degree in Film and Media Studies?

The vast majority of Film and Media Studies graduates will change professions several times in their working lifetime; many will move in, out and within an expanding and ever-changing film and media industry.  In order to best equip our students to meet these challenges, we prepare them for a host of professions by emphasizing critical and creative thinking, writing and public speaking, and knowledge of diverse cultural forms of expression. We also believe that students should complement their classroom knowledge with practical experience gained through an internship.  Our program helps to provide this opportunity, offering internships in Phoenix, Los Angeles, New York, and beyond to connect students with mentors in film, television, and digital media. 

Many students ask what professions they might enter upon graduating from Film and Media Studies at ASU. The list below provides some suggestions for students and is organized by the FMS emphasis area they pursue while completing their ASU degree.
