These are intended to meet the requirements of the various professional schools but they aren't a degree program.
If you wanted to major in biology but also prepare for medical school, the biology would be your degree program and the pre-med certificate would be intended to meet those additional med school requirements.
Doing it this way, someone could get a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and do the pre-med certificate and qualify for med school admission.
This way, you don't finish with a Bachelor of Science in pre-med which is only really useful for getting into med school; just in case you later decide you don't want to go to med school.
These programs are also good for people who already have a bachelor's degree and want to just meet additional admission requirements for professional school.
A non-degree granting program would either be one that doesn't give you a degree at all but lets you take courses, or one that gives you a degree in another subject. Pre-med is not an actual major, it's a serious of courses designed to prepare you for medical school exams. Most people major in bio and/or chem, and that's what their degree is in.
