Abstract
The purpose of this research is to examine how the topic of social media has been integrated and executed within academic institutions and marketing courses. An exploratory survey of marketing educators that taught social media in their course(s) was undertaken. The survey addressed how social media was embedded within an institute’s curriculum, the amount of coverage given to social media, teaching approach taken, what specific topics were covered, instructional materials, type(s) of assessment, and unique pedagogical challenges the topic posed. Recommendations are provided to assist faculty in their social media curriculum development.
