在一个Twitter、Facebook和 Instagram的时代，各个院校都旨在教育学生如何最大程度利用网络平台，所以，这一次，社交媒体学位是来真的！

例如，佛罗里达大学的新闻传播学院就开设了一个38学分的社交媒体研究生在线课程。该课程网站说道，学生将会“深入了解如何通过创意性内容和有效信息来吸引用户”。

Not all social media courses, however, are for journalists.
然而，并不是所有的媒体课程都是专门针对新闻传播类学生的。

At Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey—New Brunswick, one can study for a "Mini-MBA" in social media marketing for the price of $3,495. There, classes focus around analytics and the importance of social media to companies and brands.
在罗格斯大学新布朗斯维克分校，只需花3,495美元，社交媒体营销专业的学生就可以学习一个“小MBA”课程，课程重点是分析学和社交媒体对企业和品牌重要性方面的内容。

Despite more platforms going mainstream, there remains a market for the social savvy job seeker.
尽管越来越多的平台成为主流，还是有一块市场，聪慧的求职者来说，

Openings for social media positions boomed in 2014 but have since leveled off, representing about seven out of every 10,000 listings on job search engine Indeed.com.
2014年，社交媒体职位空缺激增，但此后又趋于平缓。在求职引擎Indeed.com上，每10,000个职位中，约有7个是社交媒体类，也体现了这一点。

Despite the job prospects, social media degrees – and the idea of academic courses devoted to platforms used to post cat videos and food pictures – is a topic of intrigue, skepticism and excitement:
无论就业前景如何，社交媒体学位——以及开设关于网络平台（人们可能通常用来上传猫咪视频和美食图片）的学位课程理念——都是一个错综复杂、引人入胜的话题，尽管其会遭到怀疑的论调。
