I went to full sail in Orlando FL and got associates degree in the recording arts.
www.fullsail.com
I learned a lot from this program, things I didnt think I would learn in a year period, but the downfall is that now they have so many kids going through there its hard to get individual attention if you need it.
One thing that you can do is read as many books as you can get your hands on about recording engineering, and go an get an intership at a bigger local studio in your area. You will be cleaning toilets, and getting coffe/running around all the time, but if you spend most of your time there you will get to sit in on sessions and learn things you would never learn at any school.
Another thing is to get some programs, cubase, protools free, logic etc and teach yourself these programs inside and out, then you will have somethign to offer the studios you are interning at if the situation comes up and they need you. Mostly learn ProTools cause its in every worth while studio (bigger).
One other thing is if you decide to go to a school for recording engineering, start reading every trade mag you can get you hands on, and save every penny you can. Im in debt about 50 g's now...and don't expect to land a job right away out of school...It takes hard work and time...there are seasoned engineers out there with 10+ years experience working and the job you want. You have to work your way up the chain, and be there at the studio when they need someone to fill in a space thats open (assistant engineer leaving etc).
any questions hit me up peace
