“Social media” is an umbrella term for a number of online communicative platforms intended to help businesses and individuals better interact with one another in a virtual environment. Social media programs and courses teach students how to help companies utilize social media channels to their benefit.

Courses are offered in many ways that help meet the needs of a varied student population. From standard in-classroom study to summer classes and even online offerings, the opportunities to pursue higher education have never been easier.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
