Full Sail University

Our accelerated degree programs contain more credit hours per month, allowing students to graduate in 12 months. That means student schedules are full-time, round-the-clock, which also prepares them for the 24/7 nature of a fast-paced industry.

Courses are designed in a specific order, so that instructors understand where students are in their educational journey and students can avoid class registration stress.

At Full Sail, graduate students learn practical concepts they can apply to their career right away. They learn to do and to create with industry-standard methods and equipment. Along the way, they build polished, professional portfolios with projects that demonstrate their real-world experience in their field, like creating a short film, a video game, go-to-market plan, or multi-media campaign.

• Degree held must be of similar scope/subject matter as the intended graduate degree program.
• Students who do not meet this criteria may be considered for admission upon provision of a Letter of Intent and a professional resume. An Admissions Representative can assist you in determining whether additional documentation will be needed.

The first step in the enrollment process is to schedule an interview with an Admissions Representative; this will give you the opportunity to ask us any questions you may have, and, most importantly, determine whether Full Sail is right for you.
