Northwestern University will be offering a certificate
in E-Commerce for professionals that are NOT interested
in pursuing a degree - just an indepth perspective.
The set of mini-courses will be offered starting in
September and will run for forty weeks at night. This
will be offered in Chicago.

(SOME OF THE TOPICS)
INTRODUCTION
STRATEGY
ARCHITECTURE/NETWORK SECURITY
MISSION CRITICAL APPLICATIONS
E-MARKETING

Big difference in this certificate versus others -
taught by people in the field and not by "overnight
experts". Many courses and even some degree curricula
have been slapped together to take advantage of a
hungry market.

Beware of the course offerings - everywhere. Many with
mis-information, bad definitions, and just plain WRONG
information.

Remember - Just like one course in first-aid doesn't
make you a doctor - one course in E-Commerce (OR
knowing one software package) doesn't make you an
expert!
