I would like to sign up for these two courses.

a) Introduction to Programming
b) Programming with Java

Criteria:

a) Must be offered online but self-paced
b) Must be counted as college credits (Non credit courses are not acceptable)
c) School must be regionally accredited

I have 15+ years of hands on software development experience, I am looking for self-paced course, so that I can complete them real quick. I am planning to use these credits to satisfy Boston University MSCIS entrance requirement.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

I've done courses at athabasca, just keep in mind as a non-canadian the tuition will be quite high. There are also other fees to consider, like the exam fee (usually 80-90 dollars per) that make it a bit expensive. It ends up costing about the same as TESC.

I guess you'll find better options at local/online community colleges...the others on here should know more about that than me.
Goal - BA Mathematics Major at TESC

Athabasca sounds good. Following two courses will probably meet the requirement:

Comp 308 : Computer Science 308 : Courses : Athabasca University
Comp 268: Computer Science 268 : Courses : Athabasca University

Cost per 3 credit courses will be $988. First course also adds an extra $115. They both look like self paced.

Thanks for the links bluebooger.

Take a look at this one for around $100/credit Computer Science-Independent Study in Idaho-University of Idaho
MBA, Western Governors University February 2014
BS Charter Oak State College November 2011
AS in EMS August 2010

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
