This is not a degree that is available from the Big 3. An Associate's degree is absolutely not cost-effective at all, in any case. The cheapest one I know of that would be close to what you're looking for is Waubonsee's AAS in Computer Software Development: https://www.waubonsee.edu/programs-cours...elopment-0 If you were to bring in CLEP exams for 12 of the 15 GE requirements, the remaining 48 credits would cost approximately $6000 + books. For a similar price tag, you could get a BA in Computer Science from TESU.
If you are in the US, you might be interested in the FREE Pierpont BOG AAS. This does have an Information Systems Area of Emphasis (but not specifically programming). https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Pierpont_C%26TC The 12 required RA credits for this degree would cost $800 through TEL Learning + $59 for the Google IT Support Professional certificate + approx $400 for Sophia.org = Associate's degree for approximately $1300.
