I've been pretty happy with time spent in course that are part of the
Northeastern University evening program.  See
http://www.neu.edu/cont-ed/soawinter for the session that starts 2/14.

One GREAT thing about NEU is the 10 week semesters.  You can get a
course under your belt without getting into that "dead stretch" at
weeks 7-8-9 where you forget what you were taking the course for in
the first place.
