What would be a good alternative to a Computer Science Degree?

I would recommend pursuing a masters degree instead of going for a second bachelors degree.

And no, you do not need a bachelors in computer science in order to pursue a masters degree in it.

Take for example the M.S. in Computer Science offered by Johns Hopkins University’s online (https://ep.jhu.edu/programs-and-courses/programs/computer-science)

Their prior education requirements are: 1 year of calculus, a math course beyond calculus, a programming course using Java or C++, a course on data structures, and a course in computer organization. If the bachelors you completed is lacking some of these requirements, you could just take those classes you need, then apply to the masters program. That would be a lot less time-consuming then pursuing a second bachelors, I would imagine. And it would provide you with a graduate degree.
