ITHACA, NY — FEB 19, 2007 — eCornell has announced a multi-year partnership with Hyderabad-based Easy Educate™ to promote and enroll students into eCornell professional development and executive education courses and certificate programs.

eCornell's partnership with Easy Educate™ addresses the growing need for online learning options in India. eCornell's Ivy League content, focused in the areas of human resources, leadership and strategic management, financial management, management essentials, and hospitality management, are being targeted to individual professionals, corporate learners, government employees, and matriculated graduate students at select Indian universities. eCornell's courses are authored by leading faculty from Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Johnson Graduate School of Management, and School of Hotel Administration.

"The dream of participating in an Ivy League program, that was so distant to millions of Indians in the past, has now become an achievable reality," says Easy Educate's co-founder Krishna Grandhi. "We are very pleased with eCornell's commitment to the Indian market, as evidenced by their participation on a Joint Advisory Board committed to increasing accessibility and the success of Indian participants."

eCornell's interactive, rigorous, and relevant courses have been used by more than 14,500 professionals in 165 countries to develop management, leadership, and functional skills.
