Full Sail is offering degrees in Internet Marketing and Website Design and Development. They are offering like 12,000 off the prices and throwing in a Macbook Pro loaded with Abode Master Collection CS4. Worth it?
AI and Full sail are 2 schools you need to take seriously if you want anything out of it. If you are doing gaming, these places usually have in-campus and out-campus competition. Depending on what you are going for and what you are looking for is how to look at the college.
If you are serious about getting into gaming, computer animation, and things of that nature I think full sail would be good. But i would take 1 or 2 classes at a community college to figure out if you enjoy things like art or programming. It would be a lot cheaper then going to the school, spending a ton of money and finding out you hate it.
I used to work for an employer doing basic Web design and I'm making money with Google and other advertising, too adult to mention on this Website.
I wanted to learn more AJAX, ActionScript, Flash Design, and the other classes offered at Full Sail. It's a four year degree done in 27 months - nice, but expensive.
If you already do these things why do you need a degree from full sail? You could even start your own company if you find a need for your skills. There is also free lance work.
Why? Because the older skills I have are known amongst most junior high students these days. Most community colleges, in my area, teach old world technology when it comes to computers.
I suspect that part of the usefulness of the schools is the connections you can make. I was at a tour of a sound editing company (major one in LA) and the guy giving the tour was from Full Sail, he does sound editing for movies. I think he's quoted on the Full Sail website some time ago mentioning how helpful the school was.
I looked into Full Sail with my older son and am now looking into it for my younger son. I think it looks like a pretty unique place for a motivated student. I actually just called and left a message two days ago with someone I know whose son was attending Full Sail to ask her about it. There are two other colleges in the Orlando area with a digital media major that I think might fit my son and that might make a visit there worth it for us. I would love to hear anyone's first hand experiences with this college.
It's not about learning because usually people already have knowledge with programs like this it's about getting the better to show what you know, making connections, etc.
Full Sail from what ive heard:
1. schedule is crazy new class starts each month
2. accreditation issues
The campus is amazing though blows AI and any public/private uni with a similar program out of the water.
Why is Full Sail not accredited @ SUNY and CUNY colleges
