I'd recommend taking CS50 and maybe paying for a programming bootcamp; it will be prepare you more than any 4 year in CS

I've had good experience with paid courses on Udemy. Specifically - https://www.udemy.com/become-a-game-designer/learn/v4/overview
For a small price you're going to get instructors who care a lot more about teaching than university professors. People who actually sat down and designed a modern course.
Idk about a degree replacement since I'm classically trained in that regard. Girlfriend is going to do a nanodegree to try to break into a programming role. She currently does front end dev and Wordpress sites.
