The inherently interdisciplinary nature of electronic commerce makes it an ideal basis for an integrative course in information systems. This paper describes the initial design and on-going implementation of a 'pre-capstone' course for undergraduate MIS majors. The course presents the major technologies and operational issues underlying e-commerce to a class of students of various skills and classroom experiences -- with the intention of providing students a more meaningful experience earlier in the MIS program. The effectiveness of this approach will be evaluated upon completion of the course and analysis of the results.

Keywords: electronic commerce, integrated course, course design, MIS curriculum
