M Sc. e-Commerce would you do it ?

[marcel]

Given the oppertunity, would you do a M Sc. e-Commerce.

That's a Masters in e-Commerce.

These are the courses. It's sounds rather easy if you have been in this industry for a while.

Pre-Foundation Modules
(non-credit)
• Computer Fundamentals
• Introduction to ComputerProgramming

Foundation Modules
• Introduction to Electronic Commerce
• Web Technologies

Compulsory Modules
(four credits each)
• Electronic Commerce Law and Ethics
• E-Business and Internet Marketing
• Security and Electronic Payment Systems

• Electronic Commerce Laboratory Electives (four credits each)
• Electronic Commerce in the Caribbean
• Database Technologies and Knowledge Management
• Advanced Web Technologies
• Mobile Commerce
• Special Topics in Electronic Commerce

• Advanced Software Engineering Project/Internship (eight credits)
• Electronic Commerce Project/Internship

I think it sounds great but, what will it be worth 10 years from now ?

Marcel,

Interesting you should ask. This is something I've been asking myself for about 2 years now (yes, I am slow sometimes). I've come to the conclusion that I'm better off working on an MBA with an emphasis in programming. I'm personally not willing to take a chance that employers won't recognize a specialized Masters degree as being as valid as an MBA. They can be weird sometimes.
