SEM training moves up in the world with courses at Harvard, DePaul, James Madison, George Madison, Rutgers and others. According to a recent study by Vertical Measures, an Arizona search engine optimization company, some prestigous universities are offering sem training yet at the same time “the overall findings were a bit disappointing”. The study looked at into SEM and SEO training programs and resources available at the university level.

“Some of the programs we found are outstanding said Arnie Kuenn, Vertical Measures’ president. Unfortunately, what we found overall is a major gap in university-level training for this important field of study.” The methodology and results of Vertical Measures’ study can be found online at www.verticalmeasures.com/education.html.

The company welcomes information on SEM or SEO training programs available that are not included on the list to ensure the resource is as current as possible. “We set out to create a comprehensive listing of the best university-level curriculum available,” said Kuenn. “While the results are not quite as high as we would have liked them to be, we stand ready to update and add to this resource as new, high-quality programs are brought to our attention.”
