If the life experience is evaluated by a regionally accredited college or university, it is the same as any other degree and valid. I do not believe there are many institutions that do this, but the one that comes to mind is Thomas A. Edison State College in New Jersey. I'm sure there are others. Just remember to make sure the institution has a regional accreditation.
They are as long as the college or university evaluating and conferring the degree has a regional accreditation. There are many diploma mills out there that would love to take your money. However, the end result is the degree is not valid, and use of the degree can be illegal in many areas. Thus, once again, make sure the institution has a regional accreditation.
Make sure the college or university has a regional accreditation from one of the following accreditation agencies.
Most of the above answer is accurate, but there is something missing, specificity. What is the life experience degree to be used for. If you are seeking a job as a military consultant in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, you'd be crazy to try a life experience degree. If you want to teach English in South East Asia, go for it. A very high percentage of teachers there have life experience degrees or out and out fake degrees. There is no problem with it there.
However, there is something else to be considered. What do you do when a potential employer Googles your life experience degree 'school'? It's pretty apparent that you just 'paid' for your degree. If you are seeking more information, you might want to Google 'life experience degrees suck'. Information is power.
I'm not sure that such a thing exists. I would be highly surprised. Check out Goddard, which is the closest thing I can think of. It's a (possibly the only) fully accredited, legitimate institution offering fulltime long distance learning ("low residency"). You can build your own curriculum with the Individualized Study B.A, so concievably, let's say what you want to be doing is an activist campaign, or homeschooling your kids, you could turn that into your studies/degree with some creativity and work. That doesnt mean you wont have to write papers etc. You also have to go to Vermont campus for a week I think every semester to consult with advisors and peers. The catch: you're supposed to have 120 college credits already completed somewhere. (finished sophmore year) to enroll. They only do the last two years. Perhaps they are not that strict on this, or perhaps they would make an exception for a truly exemplary case (ie Bill Gates had less than 120 credits when he dropped out of Harvard, I bet they'd take him though) www.goddard.edu This woman is sueing them because she wanted to study early childhod education and they didnt have classes like that and she says her degree is worthless. But unlike most actually illegitimate schools, Goddard *is* formally accredited - they just don't have specialized classes. It's pretty much self-directed teaching, and she could have taught herself a child psychology class from traditional books on the theory of child development, lectures by child psychologists, or by interning with a preschool teacher as part of her individualized studies. If she had done that she would feel confident to get a job. So it's only good for people who are independent learners and can really learn on their own. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=950DEEDF1730F933A25756C0A96F948260
Yes, there are regionally accredited schools which will take your life experience, evaluate it, and possibly give you credits towards a degree. They will also give you credit for military training, formal work training, and will allow you to test out. They will not however give you a degree with only life experience.

An honorary degree or a degree honoris causa is an academic degree for which a university or Church such as the Universal Life Church World Headquarters has waived the usual requirements. Degrees from a Church must be Church related in nature for example; a Doctorate of Divinity, a Doctorate of Biblical Studies, a Doctorate of Theology and/or a Doctorate of Pastoral Care would all be considered Church related. Unfortunately some churches use this loophole within the law to make a buck and attempt to sell such degrees.
