if you are looking at a non traditional school for IT, i would check out Western Governors University. Its "non profit" so the classes cost way way way less than places like ITT, and its entirely online.
The "finals" for tech classes are certification exams - which they pay for. So in other words, your "intro to networking" class final would be to go out and pass the CompTIA Net+ exam - paid for by your tuition.

From a resume perspective, I certainly would give the LSU applicant more credit than I would the ITT applicant.
I think that is really all you can do with this hypothetical situation. An actual interview would tell me all I need to know about the 2 applicants.

I know that this has gotten me as far as I am. I interview well and know what I need to do the job. Now I am interested in having the education to move on to bigger and better

This would bring up a whole new thread. Is someone fully versed in certs as viable as the kid who managed to knock out a 2-4 year education.

its completely dependent on what you specific field you are in, but for the most part IT is what you can do - not what your education is.
i know a kid who never went to college - just started working in networking straight away. 6 years out of HS he has his CCIE and makes a very easy 6 figures.
keep in mind with WGU, you would be getting both a BS and the certs.
