The Bachelor of Science program in E-Commerce Technology is a pioneering degree in an emerging technological field. With the explosive growth of the Internet, industries are increasingly employing Internet and related electronic commerce technologies. E-Commerce has expanded beyond its early roots in electronic funds transfer and data interchange to embrace the use of Internet technologies for such applications as Web-based retailing, electronic supply chain management, and Web publishing. This technical degree program is designed to meet that demand. Students earning a B.S. in E-Commerce Technology will acquire computer programming, user-centered design, and E-Commerce system development skills, as well as knowledge of the technology of databases, networking, and middleware.
