Re: Value of a certificate versus full degree.

sorry, but I'm going to chime in and ask you some questions that I'm pretty sure Alex will ask.
What is this certificate for? Will this certificate assure you the type of job you want to get? The fact that you're getting a "certificate" froma top-tiered school does not guarantee you the job that you love. Will getting an MBA from a no-named school help in terms of what you want to do post-MBA? What are your short- and long-term goals post MBA/post-certificate?
I think that without any explanations from your side, it'll be hard to judge which is better; however, the irony is that when you do explain it you probably can see which is better for you in terms of your short-term and long-term goals.
Just my 2 cent~
