Educational Offerings for Colleges & Universities
The Society for New Communications Research’s Education Program brings guest lecturers, seminars and advice about curriculum development by the Society’s Fellows to colleges and universities.
Communications professionals and educators alike are facing the shifting paradigm to new communications and social media, but often without the latest information related to research, industry trends, case studies and best practices.
The SNCR Education Program was designed to bridge the gap and provide valuable education and training opportunities to educators, students and communications professionals seeking continuing education.
The Society’s Fellows offer a wide range of guest lectures and seminars, special workshops and classes to meet the needs of colleges and universities that want to supplement their core curricula with content that addresses new communications tools and technologies, new media, Web 2.0 and developments in social media.
Classes and lectures are available online (sponsored by WebEx) as well as via face-to-face instruction.
In addition, the Society advises faculty in Communications, Public Relations, Marketing, Advertising, Journalism and Business departments on curricula development to address these topics. Advice on curricula development includes course scope and recommended content, syllabi and glossaries of terms.
Classes and lectures are available online as well as via face-to-face instruction.
We’ll be announcing our 2009 online education soon - stay tuned!

[…] summer the Society launched an Education Program to bring guest lecturers, seminars and advice about curriculum development by the Society’s […]
I’d like more information about the content of these workshops and the faculty. I would like to explore the possibility of bringing them to speak at our university.
Dear higher education colleagues,
I am seeking input from anyone who has been considering curricular change that reflects today’s new media “revolution” while maintaining a solid theoretical grounding in the discipline.
I coordinate a two-year Communication program at our community college and am recommending revision to help our curriculum remain strong and relevant.
I believe we should maintain a balance of theoretical and applied studies to help our students become effective communicators in their professional and personal lives. Most of our students transfer to a four-year school to complete a Bachelor’s degree, so our program must prepare them for upper-level communication courses, too.
Within a revised curriculum we certainly should include the influence of new media on how people and organizations communicate. How might we do that? What are your thought?
Many thanks!
