What is E-commerce?

E-Commerce is the academic study of how business operates in the digital world. It goes beyond simply selling products online and explores how technology, data, consumer behavior, logistics, and digital platforms come together to create successful online businesses. As a major, E-Commerce focuses on understanding how people buy online, how companies reach customers digitally, and how global trade happens through the internet. It prepares students to manage and innovate in online marketplaces where borders, time zones, and physical stores no longer limit business. At its core, E-Commerce is about transforming traditional business into digital experiences. Students learn how companies design online stores, attract customers through digital marketing, process secure online payments, manage inventory, and deliver products across cities or countries efficiently.
