Do I need to mention "online" in my resume about eCornell certificate program?

Saturday Jul 17, 2010

I am taking certificate program from eCornell. In my resume, do I need to mention that it is an Online Certificate program or is it ok to write "I am taking certificate program from Cornell University"?
How should I list the certificate in my resume then?

What does the certificate say when you are done? How will Cornell verify if someone calls? The last thing you want to do is tell them one way, and have the employer get verification that doesn’t match. You want to avoid even the appearance of being dishonest.

Be as precise as you can be. It is going to be much worse for you if the potential employer thinks you fudged an answer. By going to an online class through Cornell, you are doing a good thing. Do not make it look bad by misrepresenting what you are doing.
