This 30-credit certificate trains students and working professionals to observe and understand online communities and online exchanges more broadly. Coursework builds the vocabulary needed to describe the specific dynamics of a given online community, explains the principles of communication and social dynamics that shape these communities, and introduces computational tools for collecting and analyzing online data. Students apply these methods across a range of contexts, from social platforms to community forums, developing an analytical framework for studying digital social interaction. The program is offered full-time or part-time at Universite du Quebec a Montreal, with admission in the fall and winter trimesters; the next admission cycle is scheduled for fall 2027. It suits candidates working in or entering fields such as social media management, community management, digital communications, and web-based social research who want a structured, university-level grounding in the study of online communities.
