Most people are experienced in using social media for personal networking, but leveraging it to support business strategy takes formal training and specialized knowledge. As a social media marketing expert, students would be in charge of maintaining a social media presence for their own business, an employer, or as a consultant—implementing social media marketing campaigns, creating engaging and dynamic content, generating web traffic, leads and sales, developing brand awareness, monitoring social media profiles, and analyzing reports.

By earning a Certificate in Social Media Marketing, students will be prepared for a variety of professional social media roles including social media manager, social media strategist, online community manager, social media marketing coordinator, blogger, copywriter, consultant, analyst, and more.

This is a career program and is designed to enable students to seek employment at the program's conclusion. Students planning to transfer should consult with their advisor or the Advising Center staff regarding specific program and course transfer issues.

Successful completion of this program qualifies a student to apply for a Certificate in Social Media Marketing.
