Degree: Creative Writing

I began school at Full Sail Online in 2023. For the most part it's been okay. Not great. The professors in a lot of classes are clearly very biased about what they think the information is vs what the real world is. Some professors are downright stupid. Several of the classes I've taken for this creative writing degree had nothing to do with creative writing. A few classes had me editing videos for some reason as if I'm trying to take a film making course (with little to no writing as part of the... Read More

Attending Full Sail University has been a game-changer for my career and perspective on the entertainment business! Coming from a production background in an advertising agency, I knew I would benefit from strengthening my understanding of the business side—marketing, SEO, and the business strategies that drive success in today's competitive landscape. My degree at Full Sail delivered that and so much more. The curriculum was engaging, relevant, and tailored to meet industry standards, giving me... Read More

The instructors are phenomenal—patient, experienced, and truly invested in each student's journey. They brought such a positive attitude to every class, making complex topics accessible and giving real-world examples that enriched the learning experience. Their accomplishments and knowledge were a huge asset to my education and inspired me to reach new heights in my own career. I feel equipped not only with a degree but with invaluable insights, connections, and confidence to move forward. Full Sail has gone above and beyond my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to any business professional or creative looking to grow!

Full Sail is definitely worth the effort if you really are serious. I will say, as someone who was brand new to the game industry when I started, I have made quite a few connections in the game industry at Full Sail. While I was enrolled for this degree, I got an internship at a game studio, as well as participated in game jams. I will say that you do have to put in effort to actually make connections. That means a lot of it will be on you, and not the school. Take advantage of the launchbox as well... Read More

The intuition fee is really high for the education of the whole course at the university. They give students assignment with the very low quality of syllabus so it's quite easy to get a high GPA, studying at this school. I don't recommend to someone who want to pitch up their level of the major which they want to deep dive into.

Full Sail has helped me in a lot of ways since I first started. The courses are varied and complete, and the instructors are very helpful and kind. You will receive great material for your classes, necessary equipment and online resources for your industry, while they will teach you how to become a professional at the same time.

The instructors left a bad taste in my mouth. The did this because it seemed like they did not communicate well with others instructors or myself. Had a couple of them towards the end that were rude and hard to deal with. Seemed like they didn't have the time. Then the videos for the classes were way to old and need to be updated every year or when there is a update to software.

Great school. I would have completed the bachelor's degree and not just the certificate if I had no financial strains holding me back during my time in school. Overall, the instruction I learned was far better than what I expected. I came in looking at what I thought would be a traditional classroom environment to something far different and far better. An outstanding school overall; I'd recommend it to others pursuing similar interests.

I had an absolutely amazing experience attending Full Sail as an online student. The students were great, the flexibility of work was appreciated, and I adored my instructors. I do think there is opportunity within Full Sail to revamp a good number of classes to help set students up for better success in the industry, and I do with there was a bit more focus on the psychological aspect of game design and design theory.

Full Sail is a great university to build a network. There's a lot of events in which you can get to know people in the industry.

Besides that, some professors are very lazy. You pay for on-campus and pay very expensive rent just to have a teacher be like "oh, we are gonna do an online class today".

In some of my classes I even saw slides that were from different classes. There's definitely very good professors but some of them are just very lazy.

Another issue I had was with the program in general.... Read More

If you want mentorship I would advice you to talk to your professors, some of them can introduce you to people in the industry.

You basically pay to work. I would advice people to join Full Sail only if you have an advanced career in game development.

The master's will give you a bigger paycheck if you have experience in the industry.

But if you are hoping to land an entry-level job after graduating, that ain't gonna happen. Don't fall into any false promises.

One thing that is awesome at Full Sail is the Career Dev department. They give really solid feedback on your resume and portfolio. You can even attend after graduating.

Overall, I would advice not to join Full Sail in-campus. Online is a much better offer, at least for the GDMS.

Full Sail is definitely about the hype. As someone who had been looking at going to this school for 19 years, I am very happy to say that Full Sail lived up to my expectations. I have successfully created a game. I have made connections with game developers across the industry, and I have even had the chance to meet some people who helped create some of my favorite games growing up. After completing my Associates, I feel that I have the expertise and the motivation to make video games.

Full Sail's Cybersecurity Program: A Cautionary Tale

As a current student in Full Sail's Cybersecurity program, I urge prospective students to proceed with caution. The curriculum is woefully out of date, failing to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape.

Instructors seem disengaged, relying heavily on pre-recorded lectures and offering minimal personalized guidance. The virtual learning environment is riddled with technical issues,... Read More

Despite numerous attempts to raise these concerns with the administration, there has been a disappointing lack of action or improvement. This disregard for student feedback and well-being has created a frustrating and unproductive learning experience.

I strongly recommend exploring other cybersecurity programs that prioritize current industry practices, provide engaging instruction, and offer a reliable learning platform. Don't make the same mistake I did – choose a program that values your education and invests in your future.

My experience so far is not great. I’m not sure where they find their instructors, but none are phd’s. Some do not have any teaching training or experience. And some are VERY young. The lectures have been painful. For 2 - 2-1/2 hours, it’s a rambling talking head with poor teaching skills. Do they even audit the classes? One of my instructors was especially awful. In communications outside of class, she was condescending and discouraging - the opposite of good instruction. I’m going to take another... Read More
