https://www.wgu.edu/ does a good job on the Tech degree front. I had some people work for me that did those degrees because you took 17 certification tests along the way to the degree and it direct applied to their job skills as they went. I think it lacked in the Socratic method and some other finer points, but as an Advanced Vo-Tech for the new world's "plumbers and electricians" (programmers and infrastructure techs), I think it would be better than churning out psych majors and history majors.

WGU student here...BS in Accounting. I love it and the tuition is no more than my state schools.

That's what I did (CS) and I'd recommend to anyone to look into it . I transferred in like 60 credits and finished the rest in 6.5 months at 10 hrs per day. It's been hard realizing that the job search grind is unchanged even with a completed degree.
