There are many software engineers who have no college degree or degrees from fields that are completely unrelated to software. I know. I was one of them. You need to convince the hiring manager and the technical interviewers that you can do the work that's required. They can be convinced based on experience and referrals, or a mix of college and experience. College can be helpful, or not helpful at all, depending on the quality of the program. More important is how independent and self-motivated to learn you are, since no college undergrad can relay. There's also many software engineering related positions that have little to do with programming, so it's possible to do horizontal transfers between some related positions once you get hired and get a few years of experience behind you. There are QA Testers, User-interface designers, technical writers, project management, technical support and IT positions that all can serve as a path into software engineering.
A bachelor's (four-year) degree in computer science may help one to get a job as a software engineer. With regard to schooling, please avoid those private overly priced For-profit schools such as kaplan, U of P, devry, ITT tech, strayer, everest, capella, argosy, brown mackie, american public university, keiser, sanford brown, ashford, concorde career, ashworth, westwood and others as they are merely out to "make a profit" (** and their course credits usually do NOT transfer to other schools, anyway).
