Hi Everyone,
From time to time people ask about education opportunities for recent grads and I thought I would pass along this information from a program in Canada that I graduated from two years ago. The Science Communication Post-grad diploma is offered between Laurentian University and Science North in Sudbury, ON. It is a 10 month program that covers coursework, a research project, and a 2 month internship. While not focusing on social marketing, it is based on informal education and teaches learning theories and the importance of understanding audience.
There is still room in the fall '09 class. I would be happy to talk to anyone interested in the program.

I am also a graduate of this program and can atest to the quality of the education you receive in this program. The class size is small allowing for lots of discussion and interaction with the professors and your fellow students. The professors work hard to have a wide range of opportunities available for students to do work placements - many of which have lead to rich and fulfilling careers.
I too would be more than happy to talk to anyone intersted in the program.
