The Master of Science in E-Commerce Technology is designed for those who want to specialize in e-business systems development and management. Modern organizations are designing and deploying Internet-based technologies for integrated e-commerce transactions, supply chain management, customer relationship management, and enterprise portals. The movement toward e-business collaboration among organizations along industry value chains will demand IT professionals to develop strong technical skills as well as a deep knowledge of IT architecture and business processes. The MS in E-Commerce Technology exposes students to a broad and ever-changing mix of technologies, programming languages and tools. Practicum, team projects, and work for real clients provide an authentic environment for learning. The new curriculum provides flexible, modularized advanced training in e-business systems as well as competencies in Internet application development, advanced Internet technologies, and wireless applications. Students may also expand their competencies in IT architecture design, project management, enterprise systems integration, or design of information security, networks, and databases.
The program follows a three-phase sequence, with each phase preparing the student for the subsequent phase. The master’s degree program consists of:
-
Prerequisite Phase
-
Foundation Phase
-
Advanced Phase
Upon acceptance into the master’s degree program, the student will meet with a faculty advisor to discuss required courses for the Prerequisite Phase. The Prerequisite Phase is intended to ensure that all students enter graduate courses with an equivalent background. While completing this phase, a student is considered a conditionally admitted master’s student. In the Foundation Phase, a student will follow a sequence of courses to acquire an understanding of the technological and theoretical Foundations for the particular degree. In the Advanced Phase of the program, the fundamental information learned previously allows a student to study advanced topics within the chosen degree. This phase adds depth to the work completed in the Foundation Phase. Individual interests and needs are also addressed through a series of elective courses chosen in consultation with the student’s faculty advisor.
