There are a broad array of degree programs that focus on new media/social media/internet studies, emerging from within information schools, as Thomas notes, as well as in communication, sociology, and related fields. A annotated list of programs is in the appendix of the "International Handbook of Internet Research", available in the "Back Matter" download here: http://www.springerlink.com/content/978-1-4020-9788-1/contents/ -- Michael Zimmer, PhD Assistant Professor, School of Information Studies Director, BS in Information Science & Technology Program Associate, Center for Information Policy Research University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee e: zimmerm@uwm.edu w: www.michaelzimmer.org On Dec 20, 2010, at 2:27 PM, Thomas Jones wrote:
Most of the programs you seek are taught by Information (Science) Schools, and most often (or promonantly) Journalism schools within marketing/advertising/public relations tracks.

I am hoping the readers of air-l can direct me to academic programs in social media. I am finding myself frustrated because when I search using a variety of key words, I end up with the urls of colleges and university's social media sites, not actual degree granting programs. (I did find the program at Birmingham School of Media). Thanks in advance!
