I think you were kinda comparing NU, not NU + MMSS/Kellogg cert, with Duke. Or you probably just assumed MMSS or Kellogg cert adds nothing to the regular NU degree. But you probably don’t realize that Kellogg cert students have their own career advisor who works exclusively with the Kellogg cert students and leverages Kellogg’s employer partnerships. That’s where Kellogg comes into play.

From the educational point of view, Kellogg cert provides the depth (in finance or managerial analytics) usually not found at the undergraduate level elsewhere while at the same time, the students still get a quality liberal arts education. Recently, few of the students got 4th place against mostly graduate or MBA students at the 2011 Rotman International Trading Competition.
