is full sail a good school?

Question

for example if i applied for a job with a degree at full sail, would i have more credibility over a college graduate with the same degree from university of central florida,(meaning which one of us would most likely be the first choice.

Answer 1

i've heard good things about full sail. but as someone previously said, it's considered a trade school. if you DO decide to go there, make sure that credits will transfer if you change your mind about going there or if you want to major in something else that's not there.

good luck

Answer 2

If your goal in attending Full Sail is to get a good job, then don't bother. Most employers regard for-profit schools as diploma mills that do not educate their students well. You will spend a LOT of money for a worthless diploma. Look for a traditional brick-and-mortar school that will allow you to take online classes. You will come away with a degree that gets you more recognition than anything Full Sail will provide you.

Answer 3

Full Sail is a not traditional university, therefore employers don't really know what to make of it. I really don't think that you would have more credibility in any field you major in just because you went to Full Sail, just maybe in Game Development and other stuff like that.

Also, it's hard to transfer credits from Full Sail to a traditional university if you decide that it's not for you.

Check out the Wikipedia article about it and make sure you read all the way down to the criticism part of the article.

Answer 4

Full Sail is a trade school, so if you were applying for a specific technical job in the field you studied, you would be fine, but if you were applying for another job in a different area, definitely a university degree would be preferred.

Answer 5
