Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR), in partnership with eCornell, has launched a new online certification program for human resources professionals seeking to advance their careers and obtain leadership positions in the field. Students who are accepted into and complete the Web-based program receive the Cornell Certified HR Director (CCHRD) designation, an Ivy League credential that also comes with nine graduate credits from Cornell's ILR School.

The HR Directors Certificate is offered completely online, and can be completed in as little as four or five months in an accelerated schedule, or nine months without taking more than one course at a time. The program is ideally suited for:

>> HR Managers desiring to be promoted to HR Director.

>> HR Generalists wanting to acquire advanced skills in HR management.

>> HR Specialists looking to broaden their understanding across a range of HR topics including employee relations, engaging talent and HR strategy.

>> HR professionals seeking an alternative to an advanced degree.

Tuition for the program is $8,100. Each student will work with an enrollment counselor and portfolio advisor to customize a course schedule and help meet personal and professional goals.
