Best Educational track for internet marketing

[wianno168]

My son has a degree in Marine Bio. Has developed a keen interest in SEO and internet marketing.

He wants to make a career change.

He does not want to go back for a 4 year degree in computer science.

Are there graduate programs/degrees that will admit someone with a biological science degree?

He wants to have a career in Internet marketing.

A person with a four year degree in anything and good grades will be able to apply their general education credits to any other degree at most universities in the United States.  Picking up a second bachelors might take two years.

There are a few Master's and MBA degrees in internet marketing.  The question might be, do you need start school now or even get a degree?  Each degree program is different.  Some have undergraduate courses that are prerequisites but you might not need a relevant undergraduate degree.  The prerequisites, if any, can often be taken before or while you are competing graduate courses.  More information is posted on the program websites.

If you live in or near a major city he might be able to land a job with a local company and enroll in school part time.  That will get him experience that will make the education relevant and education that will increase his competence at work.

If he has a keen interest in this, he should be in here reading, watching webinars and asking questions. You can learn alot here for free.

This stuff moves so fast, he will be wasting his time. The general things may stay the same for a year or so, but not long enough for the average program. The best thing for him is likely to apply what he knows to existing businesses and read up on what you should and shouldn't do.

As EGOL said, you can learn a lot here for free. I've been involved in internet marketing for a little over four years. I'm crazy and I put in 30 hours by Tuesday all the time. I've learned a lot in a short period of time.

It's really a matter of how dedicated he is to internet marketing and how he is going to help those in marine biology. If he think's it's easy mode, he will fail in a short amount of time. If he's genuinely interested, he has an advantage over half of internet marketers.
