I would check into Excelsior College. They have a long heritage,
starting as the Regents External Degree program of the Regents of the
State of New York. URL is

<br>
As we know, in the IT industry there are many individuals who for a
variety of reasons have not completed their undergraduate degrees. Many
of these people have completed 2-3 years (sometimes almost 4) of their
undergraduate degree, but for a variety of reasons they did not complete
their first degree. After working for a few years, they realize that they
need to finish something, but by then they're often physically far away
from their original institution on top of being working full-time. What
options do they have to finish? Are there any good non-traditional
options to receive an accredited degree (which would allow them to move
on to a master's degree)? The ideal degree would allow significant
recognition of knowledge and experience, and could be completed on a
flexible schedule. <br>
<br>
The only degree that I'm aware of that meets this is from Western
Governor's University (wgu.edu), but the program is VERY tied to
Microsoft/Cisco certification. These certs are not inherently bad, but
individuals working in the Linux/Unix/Apple world find it
frustrating.<br>
<br>
Any other options out there? I suspect that our master's programs could
gain enrollment if we had ways of helping individuals complete their
bachelor's degrees.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
