The University of San Francisco is a real and accredited university, and was established in 1855. However, their online division is based out of Tampa, Florida and all classroom training for internet marketing is held online. Here is a review of that online training department which offers a number of programs and courses involving internet marketing.
The University of San Francisco offers an internet marketing program which features nine different courses, with each course requiring 8 weeks to complete. They also offer something called a “Master Certificate in Internet Marketing”, which features three of those courses. The “Master Certificate” program can be completed in approximately 6 months, at a cost of $5,995. Make note that the “Master Certificate” program only focuses on 3 of the nine courses. Any student who gains this certificate and expects to be successful at internet marketing, will be still be missing vital information which is found in the other 6 courses.
The price for each separate course varies, with the lowest being $1980, and the highest priced being $2480. However, it should be pointed out that if a student were to complete all nine courses, the total cost of the online marketing program would be $21,470, and would take approximately one and half years to complete. All of the training courses feature prerecorded videos, with most videos lasting between 10-15 minutes in length. Students are also invited to attend a one hour weekly live webinar, in which they may ask questions when the instructor finishes the seminar.
The USF marketing training program appears to be extensive, and should allow anyone who is new to the business to grasp the concepts of internet marketing. However, it is important to understand that this program, even if completed at $21,470, will still require the student to choose an affiliate company or incorporate a start-up business, at an additional cost. Anyone seeking to earn money online as an internet marketer, should begin exploring a number of opportunities, in order to evaluate what costs, skills, and training will be necessary to become successful, after the online courses have been completed.
