Sponsored Description: The entertainment and creative industries thrive on fresh original stories, design, music and art. But no matter where your passion lies, one of the keys to a sustainable career in the future will be the ability to think creatively and have the skills to bring your ideas to life in a meaningful way. Located in Winter Park, Florida (just outside of Orlando), Full Sail University is an educational leader for those pursuing careers in the entertainment industry. Established in 1979, the school's on-campus and online programs provide students with an innovative and accelerated style of education geared toward career opportunities in recording, music, film, show production, video games, design, animation, entertainment business, Internet marketing, and sports management. With over 34,000 alumni, our graduates have worked in many different roles for some of the industry's top companies and contributed to countless notable projects: films like The Dark Knight, Wall.E and the Saw series; albums by Kanye West and Amy Winehouse; and games like Guitar Hero: On Tour and Call of Duty: World at War.

It is very difficult to say anything negative about Full Sail. The school's location, reputation, and partnerships speak for themselves.
If there is one negative, it is the sheer size of the campus and internal competition that can push some people to new heights but it can also weed out many others whom may not be as prepared for the intensity and "all hours of the night" production schedule that students will endure.
Overall this is not a huge negative as this is truly how the industry works, but potential students can become easily enamored by the "wow" factor of Full Sail that they loose sight of the intense demand of such programs as the Web Design Development Bachelors.
In this program students will become familiar with interface design and usability for a variety of formats including web, mobile, and tablets. Likewise, with the popularity of Content Management Systems on the rise, this program creates a good balance of attention to both the front-end users as well as the back office and back-end management of the systems.
Overall Full Sails earns an A- for this program not because of its quality, but because of its price and slightly masked required intensity.
Decent education. Way overpriced, over-promised and misleading advertising. No credit transfers to traditional school and degree not worthy of meaningful employment. After graduation I have a huge amount of debt and starting school over at a traditional college. Decent experience if you do not have to take on loans to attend. Do not expect the degree to compete with traditional education!
