Did you look at the Software Engineering degree at WGU? There are only three certifications, two of which are relatively easy, and the third can be transferred from Sophia:
Software Engineering Bachelor's Degree Program Online | WGU
pluggingalong is currently a WGU student and is struggling with that format. Which is fine, it happens. WGU isn't a good fit for every student.

Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
