Certificate is usually focused in one area.
Degree includes enough to make you "well-rounded"
Depending on what you are doing, either can be good. Degrees are more easily transferred to other areas of study, however, and take longer to earn usually.

certification
1 authentication, certification: validating the authenticity of something or someone
2 certification, enfranchisement: the act of certifying or bestowing a franchise on
3 certificate, certification, credential, credentials: a document attesting to the truth of certain stated facts
4 documentation, certification, corroboration: confirmation that some fact or statement is true
A degree is what proves that you have finished your studies at a university. And if it is at a college, it's called 'diploma' instead. Although in this dictionary I've found online no such difference is made:
Diploma: 1 diploma, sheepskin: a document certifying the successful completion of a course of study
Degree: 4 academic degree, degree: an award conferred by a college or university signifying that the recipient has satisfactorily completed a course of study; "he earned his degree at Princeton summa *** laude"

Your school awards you a degree. The governing body of whatever your field is will issue you a certification.
For example, I got my degree from UAB.
The Alabama Department of Education issued me a teaching certificate.

Degree means you completed the required curriculum.
Certification means you are qualified or authorized to work in certain profession.

A degree can only be conferred upon you by a university. They usually take a lot longer and they allow you to have letters after your name, (BSc, BA etc.) Certificates are more like toilet roll

substantial distinction is the style of years you're at school. affiliate = 2 yrs Bachelors = 4 yrs. you may desire to have a Bachelor degree in the previous you may circulate directly to Grad college. the place you may earn your Masters degree, then Doctorate degree.

a certification just means you've taken enough classes in something to be somewhat knowledgeable in it. a degree is much more meaningful
