[Air-L] Graduate programs for "internet studies"?

[Robert Ackland]

We run the Master of Social Research (Social Science of the Internet) 
- http://adsri.anu.edu.au/study/ssi.php

The focus on social science (economics, political science and 
sociology) and quantitative research methods is what distinguishes the 
ANU's Master of Social Research (Social Science of the Internet). 
Programs elsewhere often take a media or cultural studies perspective, 
or else focus on Internet governance.

Canberra is a very nice place to live (the MSR is not currently 
available via distance, but our Graduate Certificate in Social 
Research is).
