There are other reasons I want the degree besides saying I have one. It would give focus to my learning to get tested on these subjects. Plus it helps on visa applications.
Excelsior & Charter Oak have institutional accreditation but not specialised accreditation for Computer Science.
Thanks for the suggestion on Maryland. If I could use this to keep costs down and reduce the number of exams that would be a big bonus.
Another suggestion I've had is to go straight to an MA. I have a BA in English Literature so I might be able to jump straight to a BS masters if I can persuade them I have enough work experience to make up for the lack of a BS degree. Do you know of any colleges in USA/UK/Australia/Canada that offer this?

It would be good to find a 100% exam based course that has specialised accreditation. ABET seems to be the main body for this:
