There are some programs out there that do require a lot more time and energy - like nursing is a great example. And there are some master programs that squeeze 2 years of work into 1 year.
Both your reaction and his question are legit emotionally.. once you have had time to sit with this, you and your husband need to have a deep conversation about long- term plans, ideas and what those plans look like in reality.
Student loans suck.
The non-traditional college student experience after 25 is not what he is thinking full time college should be. These are working adults that just want to finish. And I strongly suggest becoming something. - engineer, teacher, candlestick maker over getting a general degree.
If the program doesn’t allow for full time work - then he should be looking for a Starbucks job for 25 hours a week. At least he is still contributing financially.
That said, there are programs that will allow for work experience and testing out of credit hours that might shorten the time in program.

Going back to the question - what is he planning to do with a computer science degree.
I’d say, start going to a coding camp or a business analytics camp or something similar and then get an IT-adjacent job. There are lots of those out there. Then have that job help with going back to school for computer science.
You are going to need the experience with that degree. So, intern or try to get an entry level job in that field now.
Don’t take this the wrong way but why did you marry someone without education? You seem to know what it takes to make it in the world based on what you did for yourself. Maybe you got marry young and didn’t know he wasn’t going to pursue an education. By the way, I’m 33 and married for 5 years so I know the importance of supporting your partner to a certain extent.
Regarding your question and as someone who came to the US from Mexico alone at age 18 and had 3 jobs to pay not only for bachelors but Masters tell him he’ll have to work numbers of jobs while studying if he really wants that. You can still help him in someway but this is not a free ride and you never know what the future holds.
My immediate response is "oh no." However, you're married. So in the spirit of teamwork and compromise...
He can start by going to community college part time to see if he can handle the workload and ease back into being a student. He should work part time and pay for his own tuition. By his own admission, he's not the best student and hasn't earned a "full ride" in the form of you covering his educational costs. How he handles those two years will show him whether or not it's worth transferring to a 4 year college.
hahahaha no. Sorry but part of being an adult is well, being an adult about things. I went back to college to further my education for 3.5 years taking full time credits and also still working my full time 8-5 job and my husband didn’t pay any of my tuition. Tell your husband no.
Whatever you decide, Please be careful with this decision. This can lead to feelings of resentment. IMO…I think it’s selfish of him to ask for this, you are not his parent and honestly your overall yearly income isn’t that much for two people nowadays with inflation and overall economy let alone if you have or will decide to have children during those 4 years. That is way too long. A better option would be for him to build up a nest egg for his contributions for that time period he wants to be out of work then take the time. Less financial stress and mental burden on you.
This sounds like a personal thing. I know plenty of people whom are going back to school while their s/o supports them. Its 100% not for everyone, but i think these comments are making it seem more than it is. Focusing on primarily school can be amazing, if you can afford it
