   Sure, the October issue of Computer Magazine has an ad from a University
 where you can get your degree studying at home only. The ad also mentions
 life experience credits. You can even get (earn?) a Master's or PhD.
 The best part is that you could even get interviewed by 60 minutes 
 about your degree. [There was an episode where they talked about the scam
 of college degrees by mail, although not especifically by that university]

  With the number of options available it seems that you did not look
 around for a challenging university. On the other hand, if you only 
 want the degree...
