The Master of Electronic Commerce program aims to train two types of graduates. These students select a concentration in a different discipline than that of their undergraduate degree and are preparing for electronic commerce-related management roles. The second type of graduate, the electronic commerce specialist, has a broad understanding of electronic commerce issues while being expert in one of the stream concentrations. These students focus on the same discipline as that of their undergraduate or professional degree. Only Canadian participant in the international consortium is Dalhousie Univesity.
Electronic commerce is about doing business in the age of computer and electronic networks.
