I'm making assumptions based purely upon browsing various schools, but it seems the requirement for proctors is based upon the regional accreditation zone a school happens to fall within. The schools I've glanced at that are based in the North and Northeast do not seem to require proctors as often as those in the South and East. My husband obtained his AS from Baker College out of Michigan, and while I would not recommend them based upon their cost (they're on the quarter-hour system and their pricing is ridiculous compared to almost everywhere else when you take it all into account) but he did not take a single proctored exam for all his courses and has an RA degree. Others that I've come across but am not remembering off the top of my head were hit or miss on proctoring needs, but of those I found that did not require them, most were based in the NE. I assumed it was a factor of their accrediting agency not yet forcing that point.
I'd suggest refining course search to those out of the NE if a main goal is avoiding proctored exams.
