I essentially did my degree one exam or course at a time. I started with 69 credits from CC, and it took me a little bit under 2 years. Although a lot of people here rush through their degree, alternative credit can work great, even if you don't want to rush. In that case, though, you want to concentrate on sources of credit that don't charge by the term. There are a number of free credit choices that are great for people getting their feet wet. With CLEP, DSST, TECEPs, OnlineDegree, and Saylor.org, you pay per course or exam, so the pace can be your own. TESU is a good choice for that scenario, as you can apply cheaply and maintain your enrollment cheaply.
His credits look as though they would fit into any degree he would want to get. Of course, only your husband can answer whether he's ready to do it and whether it would be "worth his time".
I don't, in general, recommend associate's degrees. From our usual providers they are too expensive, and they don't provide much bang for the buck in most career situations. I only think they make sense if it's almost zero money and effort, or it's the only degree the person CAN get. The Pierpont BOG AAS is one that can be earned with alternative credit and nearly for free. You have to have a minimum of 15 "real" college credits, which your husband does. You can search here for "Pierpont" to learn more.
