Interested in learning about investment strategies from Cornell experts? How about creative writing? Or coding, beekeeping, craft brewing—or any one of a host of other topics? And what if you could study it without traveling to the Hill?
It’s all available through eCornell, the University’s online education platform, which has a variety of free and paid content, including more than 240 certificate programs, customized offerings in executive education, and one-off lectures and panel discussions.
“It extends Cornell’s reach,” says Paul Krause ’91, vice provost for external education and eCornell’s executive director. “We are reaching over 150,000 unique students a year around the world—primarily adults. When you have a job or a family, you aren’t always able to come to Ithaca for traditional learning.”

This cartoon illustrates how RNA polymerase generates torsional stress in DNA during transcription. Chromatin, composed of nucleosomes with DNA wrapped around histone proteins, buffers this stress, enabling the polymerase to transcribe through nucleosomes.
