There already is, it's just not widely known, and they don't spend much money on advertising, probably to keep the fees down: University of London International program (distance learning) BS in Computing and Information Systems Total Cost of 3 year degree: $8000 https://london.ac.uk/courses/computing-and-information-syste...

That is not CS.

Did you actually look at the course listings? The final year includes courses in NLP, AI, Neural Networks, Data Compression, Computer Security. Sounds pretty "computer science" to me...

I did not, but do you expect the people reviewing your resume/credentials to look at the course listings? There's a reason job listings specifically ask for a CS degree. It's not necessarily a good reason, but it needs to be acknowledged. I don't have one, BTW, hence why I'm interested in an online course.
