Universities interested in keeping pace with the rapidly changing field of Information Technology (IT) are often pulled in many directions. Because Information Technology is such a popular field of study and work, educators must manage rising enrollments in an era where the ubiquity of information technology demands an ever-increasing number of specializations. As a result, industry and students expect a wider range of courses and specializations in their upper division coursework. E-commerce, one of the most promising of these maturing Information Technology specializations, affords an excellent opportunity to draw together the fundamentals of the field into a capstone series of courses. E-commerce fulfills a present demand from industry, provides a wonderful project and group-based "studio-style" learning environment, and is quite popular with students. This paper discusses our e-commerce degree specialization as a capstone to undergraduate Information Technology coursework. We also discuss the motivation for, design and execution of, and results from our courses.
Keywords: E-commerce, information technology, capstone project, studio-style learning
