If you're non traditional you'll want to look at how regimented the program is. If a program allows you to take the courses in any order you want that's a bad sign in my opinion.
The program at Illinois does look good. There are so many others.
I chose St. John's because I was almost through with the CPA when I started. I'd look for programs that allow you to specialize after you get some core classes out of the way. Their program has specialties in controllership, forensic accounting, AIS, taxation and something else I think.
Most programs are a rehash of stuff an accounting major has already taken… so unless you need a review due to being out of school longer than 5 years, I'd look for the “thicker” programs with more specialty offerings that you can take after getting the core stuff knocked out.
