Social Media Education in the Higher Ed Classroom

HootSuite University's Higher Education Program provides professors and students free access to HootSuite University and HootSuite Pro for 90 days. In an effort to help increase students' digital awareness and social media skills, this access is designed to complement existing courses and curriculums within relevant fields of instruction.

During the 90-day program, students will have access to:

• HootSuite Pro - HootSuite Pro takes you beyond the HootSuite Basic plan with advanced functionality, including unlimited social profiles, enhanced social analytics, and team collaboration. This will include the ability to add one team member and create two custom reports.
• HootSuite University - An online certification program that delivers education about Social Media and HootSuite to industry leading professionals. Includes access to all on-demand courseware, our Lecture Series library, the HootSuite Social Media Consultant Directory, our Jobs Board, and a weekly #HSUchat.
• HootSuite Certification - Students who complete their HootSuite University training receive a badge verifying their expertise, and are added to our directory of HootSuite Social Media Consultants.

HootSuite University is looking forward to partnering with Higher Education institutions for the upcoming 2013 classes, in order to deliver an innovative educational experience dedicated to preparing a new generation of social media professionals to meet the needs of a rapidly growing industry.
