Overview
The online Digital Content Strategy program at the University of Kansas is divided into two certificates. The master's degree is earned by completing both certificates, but students may choose to earn just one certificate.
- Certificate in Social Media Strategy: Course focuses on the skills needed to create, analyze and optimize social media content and campaigns. Students will learn to define and analyze audiences for and with social media and to measure the effectiveness of social media strategies. See course descriptions here.
- Certificate in Data Interpretation and Communication: Course teaches students strategies for finding appropriate data, organizing data, interpreting data and explaining data in meaningful ways. This certificate does not provide skills in deep statistical analysis. Rather, students gain a better understanding of using quantitative and qualitative data to solve problems or answer questions in a variety of fields.
Careers
With certificates in Social Media Strategy and Data Interpretation and Communication, you can become the information expert in your organization. As a digital troubleshooter, you will be able to bridge the gap between those with big ideas but little understanding of how to turn those ideas into reality and those with technical skills who lack the broader vision needed to move beyond the status quo.
