La Salle University will begin classes this spring towards a certificate in electronic commerce. The program will be conducted on weeknights and weekends and can be completed in less than one year. Students do not need a college degree to enter the program, but should have at least two to three years of business experience and must have Internet access and e-mail.
Students can earn both certificates by taking the non- overlapping courses in both sequences.
The growth of electronic commerce has been so big that businesses can't keep up with hiring for personnel familiar with it, or they need to train their employees in e-commerce. Filling this void is something a school like La Salle should be doing. We were founded by the Christian Brothers to offer a practical education. This fits in nicely with our school's mission. La Salle is one of the first universities in the U.S. to offer a certificate in e-commerce.
