PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Starting on February 28, 2011, the Rutgers Center for Management Development (CMD) will be offering an Online Mini-MBA: Social Media Marketing Program. This unique Social Media Marketing course is the first online executive education program to be offered by Rutgers Mini MBA programs.
“From Facebook to LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube – firms and individuals are embracing social media platforms at an ever-increasing pace. This unique online program addresses the many issues surrounding this new phenomenon and provides a roadmap to help individuals and firms navigate social media to gain a competitive edge,” says Eric Greenberg, the Faculty Chair of the Online Social Media Marketing Mini MBA Course.
“While some people have flown to New Jersey from as far away as Seoul, South Korea, to take our in-class social media marketing course, we are excited to be able to offer our online course to a global audience. We will continue to increase the in-class offerings to additional locations, including China, but the online format will allow people, regardless of their location, to take advantage of our unique faculty and programs,” he adds.
The 12-week online faculty led program includes videos, faculty evaluated exercises, section quizzes, plus a final project and exam. Additionally, 12 different faculty members will host live weekly “Virtual Office Hours” throughout the program to discuss the most current developments in the field and answer student questions.
This online course is designed for executives or teams of professionals working in marketing, advertising, branding, communications, or sales. It is also appropriate for individuals seeking to employ social media to further their business careers.
The cost of the Online Mini-MBA: Social Media Marketing Program is $3,500, which includes all instructional materials and fees. The 12-week program will be held from Feb. 28 to May 16, 2011.
