What’s the consensus regarding certificate programs offered by Cornell, MIT, or UCLA?

Hey Everyone,

As the title states, what’s the consensus regarding certificate programs offered by Cornell, MIT, or UCLA? Are they worth pursuing for someone with a B.S. in MIS, from a non-target, looking to pivot or should I be focusing on the A.CRE accelerator and/or t10 MBA?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!
