I'm in the UK and work as a programmer (own business) but I don't have a degree, I would absolutely love a recognised online degree in software engineering, the nearest I've found so far is Open University (we've done distance learning here a long time and OU has an excellent reputation) but they only do as far as I can tell a BSc in Computing, you can pick software engineering modules inside that but at the end it's still BSc Computing not BSc Software Engineering.
