The College Network Partners

 With eCornell

The College Network recently formed an educational partnership with eCornell, the online subsidiary of Cornell University, to offer nine professional certificate programs on the web. The certificate programs range in duration from eight weeks to eight months and cover a broad range of topics including human resource management, strategic and general management, and hospitality and food service management.

“Distance learning enables busy adults to work on their professional certificate at their own pace and in their own space,” said John Neuman, CEO of eCornell. “This is one way that adults can advance their careers while continuing to work and support their families. Continuing education is essential for improved professional efficiency and personal growth.”

Gary Eyler, CEO of The College Network, said the organization was “proud” to be working with eCornell “to promote and deliver these exciting educational opportunities to working professionals and the corporate community.”

“For working adults, studies indicate that distance learning can actually be more effective than traditional learning,” he added. “Work and family obligations often prevent professionals from attending an on-campus school setting. Distance learning provides a unique option for busy professionals.”
