Earning and completing my Frontline Skills certificate at eCornell was one of the best decisions I made to pursue expanding my skills on leadership. The course worked cohesively with my lifestyle and gave me skills I could adopt immediately into my career and personal life. I gained important perspectives I could always refer to while navigating my career. I highly recommend eCornell for any higher learning for all returing back to education for growth.

I’m very happy with the Financial Success for Nonprofits certificate program. The coursework was practical, well organized, and directly relevant to the financial challenges nonprofit organizations face. I especially appreciated the focus on budgeting, financial analysis, forecasting, and financial reporting, as well as the clear explanations of concepts that can often feel intimidating. The instructors presented the material in a way that was accessible and engaging, and the program provided tools and frameworks that I can immediately apply in my work. Overall, it was a valuable professional development experience that strengthened my confidence and skills in nonprofit financial management.

Review of Hospitality Leadership course
I thought the program was well curated and it was easy to navigate around both my university course and work due to its easy class sign up. The courses themselves were informative and did help me gain a lot of different perspectives. The only reason I rate the program 4 out of 5 is because in the growing age of technology and ai it’s easy to have a set script and read off a teleprompter. Which made the pre recorded videos feel slightly less personal especially from such qualified professors like the ones at Cornell. In the future maybe relating back to personal life experiences could possibly make the sessions feel more personal.

Fantastic Program
I really enjoyed my experience with Cornell’s Business Strategy program and am very glad I chose Cornell for this certification. The program was exceptionally well organized, and the course content was both engaging and highly relevant. I am confident that many of the concepts and frameworks I learned will be valuable not only in my professional work but also in my personal endeavors.
I particularly enjoyed Professor Johnson’s lectures. His explanations were clear, engaging, and insightful, and the real-world examples he incorporated helped bring the material to life and made complex concepts easier to understand and apply.
One aspect of the course that I especially appreciated was how thought-provoking many of the assignments were. They encouraged me to think strategically, challenge my assumptions, and approach problems from different perspectives. Rather than simply focusing on theory, the assignments pushed me to apply concepts to real-world situations and think outside the box.
A special thank you to two of my course facilitators, John Martin and Noor Ashouri, who were outstanding throughout the program. They provided thoughtful and timely feedback, were always quick to answer questions, and created an engaging learning environment where students felt encouraged to participate and share ideas. Their energy, responsiveness, and genuine investment in student success made a meaningful difference in my experience and contributed greatly to the overall quality of the program.
I would also like to recognize the student support team. Whenever I had questions throughout the process, they were consistently responsive, professional, and courteous. Their willingness to help made the experience much less stressful, and I greatly appreciated the support they provided.
If I were to offer one suggestion for improvement, it would be to make the student portal a bit more user-friendly and intuitive to navigate. That said, this was a relatively minor issue and did not detract from my overall experience with the program.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my experience and grateful for the knowledge, skills, and perspectives I gained throughout the course. I would absolutely consider Cornell for future certifications and would not hesitate to recommend the program to others.

Design of AI Solutions with Lutz Finger
Design of AI Solutions with Lutz Finger
I'm grateful to have had incredible teachers - and Lutz Finger is certainly one of the best professors I've ever had.
His class left with a strong understanding and ability to practically apply ML and AI to create value. The depth was incredible, and I enjoyed putting in the work to get everything I could out of it.
Beyond his class, he takes a personal and genuine interest in his students. His time is valuable and he is busy, but will always find a moment to support his students and their interests.
Thank you Lutz and Cornell Johnson for a great experience!
