College Insurrection
It’s come to this
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest — it’s no secret that college students are very familiar with these social media platforms, but starting in the fall of 2013, students at Newberry College in South Carolina will have the option to make them a part of their coursework.
Recognizing the growing professional use of these sites, the school is offering a new major and minor in social media.

Which would probably be more substantial than a PhD in Gender Studies.

Does a college major outrank a colonel?

Definitely worth 80,000. of debt.

Daughter just got a raise and a tagged-on title of Social Media director at her job. It’s real and I don’t get it.
