George %u2014 yes, the HCII program is intense, running for 12 months in a row. I had also been out of school for many years, but the HCII is very project-based, and having a professional background helps. This is a professional, not an academic program, so you don't need to walk in with a lot of fresh academic/research background.
The intensity of the program may be off-putting to some, but I liked it. Plus 12 months instead of 2 years was an advantage, not a downside, for me. I did not take many design classes outside of the core mandatory ones, but many of my classmates did. From what I hear, they worked together with the design students including IxD in groups and it worked out great for them. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
