Program Overview

The Certificate in e-Business provides graduate students in business with a solid foundation in both the theory and strategy of a variety of e-Business issues. The purpose of the program is to provide student participants the requisite management skills for the new e-conomy. As organizations compete more aggressively for e-Business savvy managers, there are significant career opportunities for those individuals skilled in this dynamic and evolving business practice. E-Business is big business, whether you're talking about an early stage startup, a multinational corporation or anything in between. These activities represent a significant and escalating area of organizational spending. Despite the magnitude and importance of this business practice, practitioners frequently express dissatisfaction with the process, outcomes and the availability of individuals who are prepared to manage in this arena. Thus, the purpose of this certificate is to prepare our graduates as future e-conomy participants to capitalize on this swiftly moving business model by offering a hybrid of cross-functional, Internet enhanced classroom learning experiences designed to provide exposure to the most important drivers of this emerging field.

    Application and Application Fee

    Prospective students are required to use our online system to create an account and submit an application. The application opens approximately one year in advance and is only good for the term and program in which it is submitted. Applicants who have submitted their application and wish to change their admission term or major/concentration may submit a new application and associated application fee. If you would like to cancel an open application, please contact us.

    A $30 (USD) application fee is required regardless of previous enrollment. The application fee is non-refundable and cannot be waived. Undergraduate application fees cannot be used for a graduate application, and vise versa. The application fee must be submitted prior to the review of an application.

    Current students who would like to add or change a major, concentration or certificate should submit the Change of Concentration or Major form.

    All applicants must provide transcripts from a U.S. institution accredited by an accepted institutional accreditor or its equivalent from a non-US institution that awarded the bachelor’s degree and master’s degree, if applicable, and transcripts from institutions where any post-baccalaureate and/or graduate credits were earned.

    All admits must provide official transcripts.
