Okay thanks very much for the advice, I'll give them a try

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.

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

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?

I want to do a DIY BS degree in Computer Science. I have 12 years work experience in IT so I am confident I have most of the knowledge already. I just want the piece of paper to prove it.- I'm not interested in the teaching- I want to keep this as cheap as possible (under $5,000)- I'm looking for a 100% exam assessed course- I want to take the exams at my own pace (ideally complete within 9...

Or you could roll your own with this npm package I wrote which turns a google sheet into static JSON:

On my server I have a cron script running which pulls the new JSON if there have been any changes.
