The answer to this question, it seems to me, is right here: "certifications are offered by associations or industry groups, based on a standardized exam that measures a person's knowledge of relevant job skills. Also, as Swift noted, they're valid for only a limited time period, can be revoked for incompetency or ethical lapses, and are not awarded by the same organizations that provided the education or training." All of that is the opposite of most university degrees, and if combined, would eventually render the degree part of the program moot. That said, it seems to me that I have seem certifications offered inside of programs, though as I recall they were (technical and trade) college programs.
