I not sure if this is relevant, since I don't live in the US but I'll give it a try. Learning Tree International at http://www.learningtree.com offers college credit in the US for doing their courses, they also give University Credit here in England.
It requires quite a lot of courses (Average 9-10 but can be less) plus 3 supervised work related projects.
And after all that you walk out with a Masters Degree in Professional Computing.
To keep you motivated along the way every 5 courses you pass in a particular range gives you a learning tree certification e.g. Unix Systems Certified Professional (USCP) , System and Network Certified Professional (S&NCP),etc.
The course can be applied to multiple certifications as well, so it may be possible to do 6 or 7 courses and get out with 2 certification as in the case of USCP and S&NCP since the Unix portion crosses over.
I'm not sure if any other Training Providers offer this in the US but it may be worth looking.
As an aside and I may be wrong, but Doesn't IBM have a University of it's own? I heard that they did but that may be just in the UK.
