Getting A Masters Degree and Learning the Entertainment Business 2Do you dream of being the next Zuckerberg? Do you think the next social board that sells for millions, like Pinterest, should be one that you designed? If you dream of mastering online entertainment like this, a college education has some surprisingly pertinent resources for you. As the number of accredited online masters degree programs continues to increase, it is likely aspiring web professionals will study in the same place that they work.

Anyone can nab a business degree in marketing or promotion. But if your plans have you ruling the next Facebook in five years, other types of education may be more to your style. As the world slowly gravitates toward Web 2.0 and online business structures, you can get a head start and be waiting for the markets when they come. All it takes is a little planning.

School Side

Maybe you have a specific project in mind to revolutionize your social network. Maybe it’s the next social media game everyone will be playing, a blog no one will be able to resist, or a news feed that captures the interest of the world. In this case, you can look for a specific class designed to put the right tools in your hands without making you sit through a lot of clutter beforehand. For this type of training and education, online universities may have the upper hand. Popular for-profit organizations like Full Sail tend to specialize in media tools, game development, and media creation for sports and music.

Of course, you may realize specific courses are not your best option. In that case, colleges also offer many degrees that fall in a happy middle ground. They may not include specific programs devoted entirely to sports media or creative writing for blogs, but they offer courses which focus  on the social media world and are several levels better than the average business degree. Search for Entertainment Management degrees, programs that teach you the ins and outs of managing a business from the perspective of the entertainment arts. In fact, there are a number of degrees in Entertainment Business, a specialty suited for media and technology enterprises. If you want to start your own social company or at least become a social media guru for a major name, this type of degree has your name on it.

Higher Education

If you have your eyes on an extended stay in the education world, look for masters degrees that also match up with your plans. For example, several masters programs have sprung up to specialize in social media. That’s right: you can earn a masters in Social Media, focused entirely on the spread of information through sites, blogs, posts and tweets. What else could be better preparation?

Getting Started

If you are serious about becoming the next big name in online entertainment, starting with an appropriate education is the first step. As social media and online tool programs become more available, your chances at finding a perfect fit only increase. So start the adventure today!
