The college is called Glasscock's School of Continuing Studies at Rice University located in Houston Texas. The official SEO college course is described as: What do you guys think? Anyone moving to Texas? Thank You
If I had decided to move to Texas with my uncle I would definitely take this course. The only thing im wondering is how deep they would go into it.
That's great news. Many people still think that SEO is search engine "Trickery" . I hope to see more and more of this type of course globally
Yeah, I would love to into it as a qualification, would be really weired though as everyone has self taught themselves.
One of the things on the curriculum is how to submit your site to the search engine LOL. You shouldnt be doing that anyways, SE's should really find you through links. That line right there tells me its probably nothing great.
did u say glasscock? lol, seriously if i was in texas i wouldnt mind taking it either. Or better yet i would get my seo to teach it
Well in the passage it also says so you would benefit from making your site more user-friendly as well as SE friendly!
I was involved with some of the intital consultation on a course local to me in Wales. The course is actually run by our local Quasi Government agency, but it has the approval of and is run in association with the Chartered institute of Marketing (in the Uk to become Chartered it is a SERIOUS process) http://www.swanseabayit.net/emcoe/ first of its kind in the UK probably.
I'm sure many of us could take this course with our eyes closed and ace the final exam...probably even teach the instructor a few things...would be an easy way to get credits.
I'm pretty sure there are plenty of universities which offer classes in SEO, I don't think there are any that offer a degree in it yet however.
Lol Read Closely, Developing a reciprocal links list. This will only hurt your rankings. What a joke. Did a post on it back when I found out about it. Its here if your interested.
There are quite a few universities offering classes in SEO, whats yet to come is a school offering a degree or multiple classes on the subject.
I was taught some SEO as part of my multimedia diploma and I ended up correcting the teacher numerous times. The class lost faith in him as I could prove (by my own stats and SE placings) that he was talking nonsense.
This very tough to teach SEO things and continue this types of courses as Search engines algorithms are updated frequently.but this is really a nice opportunity for those who want to learn SEO. My personal experience is SEO can learn by your own experience. it will help more than any other courses.
