Coursera, as not rigorous as it is, has several options to consider. However, I would consider these as checking the box rather than necessarily covering everything you would learn in a 4 year degree.

For an EE degree, U Colorado Boulder has an express entry Masters in Electrical Engineering on Coursera. No Bachelor's required. $15K USD or so.

If you just wanted an MS in CS, poke around Coursera. Ball State, Colorado, and I think Clemson all offer Master's degrees without Bachelor's being necessary.

If you need a BS in CS for whatever reason, Western Governor's University is regionally accredited (better than nationally) and is both inexpensive and as fast as you want to make it. $6-7K USD per year. Personally, I consider Southern New Hampshire's offering to be more rigorous, but it's also more expensive. There is also a BS in CS from University of London on Coursera, but I haven't really looked deeply at the curriculum.
