Transition Plan - M.S. in E-Commerce Technology

There has been a substantial reorganization of the MS-ECT program for the 2004-05 academic year. The new program has a competency-based modular structure, allowing you more flexibility in course choice and the ability to incorporate new skill sets into your program.

If you entered the MS-ECT program on an earlier curriculum, you can stay with that curriculum or you may switch to the newer curriculum. You will be able to complete the older curriculum without difficulty.

Switching to the 2004-05 MS-ECT curriculum

If you switch to the 2004-05 curriculum, you must meet the new degree requirements. Courses you have already taken will count toward those requirements.

If you have completed the prerequisite phase already, then you do not need to worry about the prerequisite phase of the new curriculum. If you are still in the prerequisite phase, follow this plan:

To meet the foundation phase requirements of the new curriculum, the course substitutions are:

Note that SE 430 is a new requirement.

The e-Business Systems module is required in the new curriculum.  The courses in this module were all required in the previous curriculum:

If you have taken courses not on this list, they will apply to some other competency module, to a customized module, or as an elective.

After making these substitutions, you will need to meet all the remaining requirements of the 2004-05 program.

Completing a prior MS-ECT curriculum

If you wish to complete a prior year MS-ECT curriculum, you will need to make a few course substitutions.

If you have not taken either CSC 415 or CSC 416 or if you have taken CSC 415 only, then you should take CSC383.
