Degree Planning from scratch for late career software engineer
#7
One school that hasn’t been mentioned in this thread, but might be worth looking into is South Texas College. They offer a couple of self-paced/competency based degrees that might be good for him: Bachelor of Applied Technology in Computer and Information Technology and a Bachelor of Applied Technology in Technology Management.

Some info here, some good and some bad, about the program: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...as+college

Tuition is $850 per 7 week term for people in Hidalgo and Starr counties, $910 for other Texas counties. They take CLEP exams, but not ACE or NCCRS credit (so no Sophia, study.com, etc). A year at WGU (2 six-month terms, likely what he would need to finish his BA) is $7,840. That is in the same ballpark as. TESU degree in CS or IT. A year at South Texas (7 terms of 7 weeks each) would be $6,370, assuming you aren’t in the college’s district.
Master of Accountancy (taxation concentration), University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, in progress. 
Master of Business Administration (financial planning specialization), University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, in progress.

BA, UMPI.  Accounting major; Business Administration major/Management & Leadership concentration.  Awarded Dec. 2021.

In-person/B&M: BA (history, archaeology)
In-person/B&M: MA (American history)

Sophia: 15 courses (42hrs)
