Master of Science in E-Business

This is the degree for the New Digital Economy. In today's fast-paced and ever-evolving business world no one can expect to operate without an E-Business component.

DePaul's M.S. in E-Business is designed to give business professionals a better understanding of e-commerce technologies within a business context. Students in the program will be prepared for specialized e-business roles in management with an understanding of business administration, technological trends and e-strategies.

Individuals with an MBA degree or students currently enrolled in the MBA program may have up to six MBA courses count toward the requirements of the Master of Science in E-Business degree.
