Any recommendations for a worthwhile, fully online CS program? I'm more interested in a BS than a BA, but if online programs are limited (and that seems likely), I won't rule anything out.

#2For a master, you have The Georgia Tech OMSCS. Most of the on campus classes are available.

#3You can get an entire free curriculum from Open Source Society (OSS) and a lot of their classes you can get credited for, however it's mostly a curated list of free resources like classes offered from MIT and Stanford and various other schools last time I checked. Might be worth looking into.

#4If you already have a BS (or higher) in another field, then Oregon State University has a 60 credit completely online computer science BS degree. They have 1, 2, 3 and 4 year tracks depending upon each person's available time commitment.[0]
If you already have a BS in computer science or a related field, then see this comment[1]

Georgia has a few good ones. Georgia Tech and Columbus State University have fully online graduate CS programs

#6If you're ok with BS in Information Technology instead of CS, WGU has a good 100% online program. If not, their masters degree programs may be a good follow up (one of them is in security and may include one or more relevant certifications).

They also have Software Dev.

And I believe CS coming "soon."

#8Bachelor's CS is hard to find for some reason. ASU and PSU have Software Engineering bachelors which has the basics and covers a good bit of practical knowledge but not so much theoretical. This is probably not ideal if you are already a working software engineer and want stronger theory.
The University of Florida and Auburn University have online CS programs but I don't know much about them.

#9http://open.edu.au partners with a number of Australian universities like RMIT and Griffith, and five or six others, to deliver all of the content online. However each subject generally still has an invilgated exam. From what i understand though, even these exams can be undertaken in a host of other countries.

Can attest to that (graduating from it next Friday!).
Few points - the main pitch for this is the cost, even if it was not a top 10 ranked MSCS program, it was still one of the most cost effective degrees in the US. The total cost for me was around $8,000 including everything (you can lower it if you take it less slowly than I did).
The diploma is the same as the on-campus one by the way. I'm actually attending the commencement ceremony there like all the on-campus students (I'm from GA but some OMSCS students fly in just for the graduation ceremony)
One small correction, I wouldn't say that most of the on-campus classes are available online, I'd say a great deal of them are, but there are many that are offered only on-campus.
