Masters Degree vs Masters Certificate / Diploma in Canada I've seen prominent Canadian Universities (York and University of Toronto, for example) offer a Masters Certificate and Masters Diploma respectively in the subject of financial engineering. How do these differ from a masters degree (in the scope of Canada)?
Master's Certificates and Diplomas are typically offered from programs that aren't accredited yet. This does not mean that the institution isnt accredited, just not that particular degree. They also typically take less time than a Master's Degree.
