Full Sail University has given me the opportunity to pursue my dreams of creating video games while still being in the comfort of my own home. The professors for the courses are very knowledgeable and make time to answer any questions you might have. There are plenty of resources given in each class as well, so you can take the time to study on your own time in between the live lectures.

I graduate the Digital Cinematography program in 2 months. I had never worked in videography nor had any experience filming, writing, or producing anything. Since I started the program over two years ago, I got a gig on a feature film as a script supervisor, filmed two mini-documentaries, two short narratives, an instructional video, and a commercial campaign. Several professors have introduced me to other people who are active in the industry, and I've begun developing my network. I feel I will... Read More

School promises a lot of hands on learning but, being forced to spend over half the degree on irrelevant trainings/classes and about 60% of the time the classes are just "YouTube" courses. It feels like i could have spent half the money for triple the training. In fact during my time at the school I did pay to get additional training and due to feeling like so many things are skipped or brushed through. Its no surprise the 5 friends I've made during my time here all feel like their training barely... Read More

Full Sail gave me the tools and knowledge to success in the writing industry. Open my eyes to different writing forms and styles I can use to tell my stories or produce content for the audience.
I recommend anyone who enjoys a flexible schedule and remote environment to study, learn, and make great connections with classmates.

Full Sail teaches surface-level content, readily admits it while teaching, and tells you to figure it out yourself after graduation. They ignore that people have lives they need to live while attending and may not have the time after graduating to practice while being smothered by the debt they have sunk their students into. They do not have "industry connections" unless you are able to create at a pro level at the time of your graduation. Stay away.

Full sail started out as a good school and I got good grades but I had a bad teacher who didn't like online students. He kept accusing me of cheating and failing me and I went through a council to appeal it and they didn't care and didn't do anything about it. Not only the the people on the council knew nothing about my program so it made sense for them to side with the instructor and everytime I wrote a complaint they defended the teacher and the class is a 2 attempt class, so they withdrew me from...

The experience I had getting my degree was great, being able to cover sports stories and learn how it's done was once in a lifetime. With having a job and a family man, the online class made it easy to balance family and school with ease. If you have a family, I recommend going online.

Full Sail University, like all colleges, has its ups and downs. The most significant aspect for me was being able to pursue my education online and graduate with a bachelor's degree in under three years. I could work at my own pace and from anywhere, which worked well with my nomadic lifestyle. I also enjoyed how the majority of the courses were directly related to my degree program, and most assignments gave me free rein to decide the direction of the projects. As someone who works and learns well... Read More

Pursuing my Master of Science in Computer Science at Full Sail University has been one of the most intense yet rewarding academic experiences of my life. The accelerated one-year online format was a perfect fit for my schedule, allowing me to grow professionally without having to put my career on pause.
What truly stood out to me was the consistent support from the professors. Their availability, encouragement, and practical guidance helped me stay grounded even when the coursework became challenging.... Read More
The program itself was well-structured and modern—rich with hands-on projects, real-world applications, and opportunities to refine both theoretical knowledge and technical skills. I especially enjoyed the courses that focused on Jupyter Notebooks and coding within individual cells. They opened up new ways for me to organize my thoughts and approach problem-solving, making coding feel both intuitive and powerful.
Of course, balancing such an intensive program with daily life wasn’t without its sacrifices. I gave up a lot of personal time to ensure that my assignments and projects were not only completed on time, but done to the best of my ability. However, that discipline and commitment helped sharpen my work ethic and deepened my appreciation for the field.
This program didn’t just give me a degree—it prepared me for the future. I gained valuable technical skills, confidence in my abilities, and a clearer vision for where I want to go next in my career. I’m incredibly grateful for my time at Full Sail and would recommend it to anyone serious about elevating their expertise in computer science.

It only took a few months of attending class with Full Sail for me to realize the education I was receiving was something special. For two and a half years I received instruction on industry standards, learning everything from editing, web building, copyright, and even the importance of a work life balance.
The classes weren’t preparing you to become a capitalism robot, they were teaching you to take your creative roots and allowing them to grow into your lifelong career.

Had a great time as a student. Quality lessons and assignments that give you everything you need to know. The flexibility for turning in assignments is nice as well, but that is subject to change depending on the policies of your professor. Overall, it was a good experience that taught me a lot.

Please think about your schooling options for at least a year before deciding to attend this university, because despite it being more affordable than most art schools out there, 90% of the cases I've seen it's not worth it. You don't even really need a degree for most art career paths, I would genuinely suggest teaching yourself through online tutorials on your own free time than to attend this school. It's extremely expensive, and for what you get in return I don't think I got my money's worth.... Read More

I myself am an independent artist (Ayinar) and found the courses to be of extreme help when I came to furthering my career. They also provide a great environment to further your knowledge after graduation. If you know you have the drive and wanna push yourself to grow more. I'd recommend Full Sail University.

What sets Full Sail apart is its hands-on, fast-paced, and industry-focused approach. The curriculum is intense, but it's designed that way to simulate real-world environments.

Great school to learn the basics of what you want to do. However, with only learning the basics by graduation I either haven’t heard back from the job posting/internship or they sent back a “we went with someone more qualified.” I wouldn’t be mad about this but for how much my degree cost I should have been more prepared by now. So, now I’m stuck in Florida with a high rent, because Full Sail doesn’t have student housing, having to work two minimums wage jobs to afford it.
