1) I'd say the MIT course idea isn't really what the poster was looking for.
2) I know at least a few people who are/were working on undergraduate degrees in the evenings. The trick around here (Michigan) is check the directional schools. Your Major Big Time [State] State University or University of [State] aren't the places you're looking for in this case. Check the public universities close by. That may not come across as fancy, but see what they have to offer.
My experience as an interviewer and interviewee is that as long as the program is accredited, you're going to get past the HR filter. You have the experience (and seemingly high quality) to secure your position, and open new opportunities once you have the degree. There are plenty of schools that are friendly to commuters, and they'll get you all the cred you really need. And no, you don't need to be a compiler wizard to survive, just make sure you can pace the program to what you can survive and balance.
If the employer is giving you money to go, use it. 10K/yr should cover about as many as you'd want to take on a year anyway. You don't need to worry about the Comm College route with that sort of budget, and at a regional commuter Uni, it's not worth it if you're not paying for the classes to start with.
