Short answer: Yes, definitely.
Long answer: Depends on your situation and your goals. I was like you in that I had 2 years of programming when I decided to go to university (CS degree). At that time, no one would hire a kid who claimed he knew how to program. So my entire goal was to get a piece of paper that would validate I knew something.
Somewhere in my Junior year, I was grateful I was in school. I think it was Algorithms that did it for me. It was so exciting and enlightening.
That said, I have know successful programmers who did not get a college degree, and worked their way up, one painful step at a time. In all cases I truly believe they would have been more successful had they gone to school. But, depending on your life circumstance that is not always possible.
Do you have a good quality school in mind? Can you afford to go to school?
