This track has a required curriculum with no elective choices. Students who feel they need to deviate from the curriculum must receive approval from the CTA Program Director

Students currently in Foundations of IT classes and students wishing to switch into the E-Commerce track should check their programming aptitude test scores with the CTA office. A relatively high level of programming aptitude is necessary for this track. If you scored below 20 on this test your should reconsider entering the E-Commerce track.

Individual questions about course offerings may be directed to the Track Chair, Olivia Whiteman, [email protected]. Please use the phrase "ECOM QUESTION" in the subject field.
