Master's Program in Social Media Psychology
A texting student
UWT is proud to be on the cutting edge of research into the burning questions brought about by use of social media, such as, "How old can a picture be before someone's liking it turns from normal to creepy?" and "How does the number of punctuation marks change the meaning of a statement?" The College of Miscellaneous Studies offers a special M.A. in Social Media Psychology, meant for those who would like to dedicate their lives to discovering the answers to these pivotal questions. Due to the nature of the subject matter, possession of a B.S. degree is required for acceptance to the program.
