Are these 9-12 month certificate programs offered by the top schools like Stanford and Wharton any good? Does it really help with gaining knowledge and network?

How would you gain a network in an online program? Besides, pretty sure all subject content is on the internet for free.

They are not completely online. They have campus modules (usually 5-6 weeks during the entire program)

Don't think so. I think those are money grabs by the schools - they overcharge for silly certificates so that they people can claim to be alums of those schools and put it on their LinkedIn profile

I think it helps you to put things like Harvard, MIT, Stanford in the introductory section of your LinkedIn profile.

I do understand the cringe factor associated with someone prominently displaying their Ivy League certificates on LinkedIn profile but my intention is more to do with networking opportunities (building relationships with some mid level executives during the course) and the subject knowledge.
