I can definitely speak to this. I graduated from ECPI in 2000 and unless they've completely overhauled the curriculum/staff/mission statement, you're basically spending ~10k to get job placement assistance and a somewhat dubious resume pip. Depending on your situation/goals this may not be a bad thing per-se, but expect to graduate into $11-$14 dead-end job offers (think tech support). 

Wake Tech's curriculum is substantially more in depth, so if you're going for knowledge, go with Wake Tech or NC State. If all you're after is a piece of paper and an interview, consider taking a handful of cert tests and then contact a recruiting agency (I suggest Hudson, and suggest against ACC Staffing, ymmv). Good luck in any case.
