If you want to get a degree in statistics you could do the Royal Statistical Society’s Graduate Diploma set of exams instead. The material covered is equivalent to that covered in a university degree in statistics and is sufficient to get one into a Master’s programme in statistics in Sheffield, Birkbeck or LSE as of last year. The RSS offers other examinations at lower levels as well.
They have examination centres in many, many countries, the USA included.
