This list does not exhaust those disciplines that may qualify you for the program. You need to be nominated for the program by the dean, director, or chairperson of your graduate academic program. A competitive nomination process is devised by each school so selections are based on abilities, knowledge, and skills, after fair and open competition. Your appointment may begin immediately upon completion of your graduate degree program. The Next Step Announcements inviting nominations to the PMI Program are mailed each September to graduate schools nationwide.
Brochures containing additional information about the program are also available at that time.
If you are interested in starting a career as a PMI, contact the head of your graduate program or college career guidance and placement office.
