Are there Masters programs that focus on ecommerce and social media?

[IELTS Ryan]

Hi, nice to meet everyone.

I'm just curious if anyone has heard of a Masters program that has a strong e-commerce/social media component? Many computer science/economics graduate programs surprisingly lack courses that look at the fast-developing area.

Masters programs in Economics are a relatively new concept, as most just go straight to Ph.D. The masters programs that do exist mainly focus on giving students a general handle on the theory, not specializing in certain aspects of research. That being said, you may want to check applied econ masters programs if you are really interested though keep in mind that if you decide to go the Ph.D route, an applied econ masters doesn't look as good as a general masters degree in economics.
