Serving The Globe – Drury’s Online Social Media Certificate

Drury University’s Online Social Media program has attracted professionals representing a wide range of  industries from across the United States and around the world.

Past participants have backgrounds in higher education teaching and administration, publishing, journalism, marketing, media management, healthcare IT, business administration, nonprofit administration, public relations, and international finance.

In Spring 2011 the program welcomed its first participant from Asia and in the Fall of 2011 its first participants from Europe and Africa.  Members of the SMC faculty have also been in contact with prospective students from Hawaii, Australia, India, South America, Canada, and Russia.

Dr. Curt Gilstrap, director of the SMC, added the online version to complement Drury’s seated offering after receiving multiple requests  for a more accessible program.  Dr. Gilstrap invited Social Media educator, consultant, and author of the program’s primary textbook,  Deltina Hay to join the faculty and teach the online course using an interactive webinar interface.

As Social Media and Web 2.0 have grown in popularity Drury has increased the availability of the online version to four deliveries each calendar year (two 4 week and two 8 week sessions) .  ”Social media is now an integral part of marketing, networking, and promotion for any organization. This only increases the demand for social media marketing skills. I anticipate enrollment to reflect these trends,” Deltina Hay.

Participant reviews of the online version have been outstanding resulting in Drury’s Social Media Certificate program gaining national and now international attention.
