Hey saxophonepraise
Thats a lot of money for a useless diploma or certificate. Nobody cares what school you choose, except the people getting rich off of these scam programs. You can't teach someone how to be an engineer in 9 months.
Job placement!!
I would recommend a local technical college that has an audio program, or better yet, get a BA degree. If these don't appeal to you I would find a pro studio and learn the old school way (This option is getting pretty slim these days). Trust me this will be of more use to you than some expensive audio school designed to take advantage of you.
good luck,
