Are you ready for a University Degree in Social Media?

Christine S. Baker
July 1st, 2010

Social media is now embedded into our psyche. Social media now affects how we talk, think and communicate with each other. Life as we know it will never be the same, as social media has accelerated the pace of life and now people are just considered to be wired or not. The extent of how deep social media has become a necessity in our daily lives is shown in the new thrust by several universities to offer online degree programs in social media. Universities are not only in the education business to educate individuals. They also exist to provide a profit to their shareholders. So we see, by them offering degree programs in social media only prove the point of how social media has become to our hi-tech society.

In addition, all the major media broadcasting houses have developed various TV programs based around social media. Examples of how social media has infiltrated TV programming is shown in the many eye witness reports that are uploaded to their respective Twitter, Facebook and MySpace pages within seconds of an event. This concept has provided many job opportunities for amateur journalists who are always on the lookout for breaking events.

Before we go any further, let us examine this concept of social media. Social media is an interaction of different individuals through means of technology and telecommunications. These tools provide individuals to share word, picture, audio and video content from locations all over the world. As a result, social media has developed into the main source of contact between individuals.

Bachelor’s Degree in Social Media

Any course in marketing will tell you that where people congregate, there is an opportunity for business. The growth of social media has prompted several universities to devise degree programs that will teach individuals how to exploit the accessibility of social media. The bachelor’s degree in social media has been incorporated in the faculties of business, computing and information management of many universities. The degree is also becoming quite popular as many individuals are now viewing social media as a viable career option.

The bachelor degree in social media focuses of developing student’s skills of business, computing and communication through various mediums such as text messaging, internet, mobile phones, email and chat rooms.

Master’s Degree in Social Media

Recently one leading university launched a master’s degree that focused solely on teaching its students about the use of, effects, opportunities that social media offer to the greater community. This online course entails a scholarly study of how social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Bebo can help both the marketing and communication sectors.

As in all accredited master’s degree program, the course had to meet various standards before it could be approved by the Department of Education.

They have reported significant interest in the course as many companies are now acknowledging the power of social media and want to be at the cutting edge of its manipulation. Hence, whether you are wired or not, social media is here to stay so it is for us to ask ourselves the question “are we ready for social media?” http://aboutonlinedegrees.org/blog/university-degree-social-media/
