And at a community college you can qualify for traditional student loans, GI funding, etc -- making the equation a lot easier. If you know of anyone who's completed one of these programs and is now a full-time developer I'd love to meet them and pick their brain.
Having taught at Boston College's Center for Digital Imaging and Arts (CDIA), I was not impressed with the curriculum and, most importantly, the expectations for students were disappointingly low. It was more of a "pass the time, get the certificate" than a genuine learning environment. I hope it's different here in Denver.
