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!

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.
Please excuse my spelling, this message was sent through a series of tubes... from my iPhone.

The BA (Internet Communications) at Curtin University, now entering its 11th year of operation, has a strong social media concentration (with more to come in future years, we suspect). Similarly, the Master of Internet Communications which is a professional upgrade qualification (not a postgraduate Masters) emphasises social media. Obviously we have PhD students conducting research in similar fields. We retuned our course in 2008-2009 to increase the social media focus: it's both applied and conceptual. A curiousity: we are one of only a very small handful of genuine Internet Studies departments around the world. One reason is that Curtin University already had departments of Film, Journalism, Library Studies and Design. These four departments had a strong professional focus in the mid- late 1990s and did not really think about the Internet or were (in several cases) antagonistic or hostile to my efforts to make it a focus. As a result, I was able to establish a program in Internet Studies in 1999, which had to be 'distinct' rather than integrated into other media / information areas because there was no cooperation from those departments. This actually became a useful opportunity since internet studies was then able to determine its own path. In a sign, perhaps, of the future: the Department of Internet Studies is now (in terms of students enrolled) larger than film, or journalism, or information studies. To be fair, that is partly a result of our online program of study through Open Universities Australia, but it does rather make me smirk: the insurgency (as we liked to call ourselves in the e 2000s) is now a nation state ;).
