After haranguing each other, the two savor the new blend. A similar mixture is found in e-business graduate programs and classes. Courses in business and technology are the framework for a degree in e-business, the process of selling or doing business over the Internet or World Wide Web.
Students learn to draw up a business plan along with a Web site.
For local business people, university courses in e-business are as close as a computer monitor, as far away as Buenos Aires, and at campuses in San Diego County and Irvine. National University, the University of Phoenix and the University of California, Irvine offer master's degree programs that combine business and technology. The University of San Diego, which is offering the e-commerce course in Buenos Aires, is likely to be the next campus to offer an MS in electronic commerce. Furthermore, San Diego State University, California State University, San Marcos and United States International University each offer one e-business class. Up at UC Irvine, laptop computers are issued to students entering the Graduate School of Management.
