A colleague of mine read and thoroughly recommended 'The Imposter's Handbook' for devs in this situation - it's a CS overview for developers without CS degrees. Data structures, Big O etc.

I don't think going to university after 15 years of industry experience will reap any benefits. Something like this could just plug the gaps in your knowledge for less than a hundred dollars and a fraction of the time.

I think OP knows this and just considers it for the piece of paper at the end, probably to help ensure future employability.
