Academics

If you take the regular accelerated programs, you will be at school 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week. That doesn't count homework and researching outside school time. You will lose sleep. I get anywhere from 3-7 hours of sleep per day and have gone up to 36 hours before sleeping. And when you graduate, the industry will be just the same. I am aware of this and challenge the schedule on a daily basis, which led me to my current 3.5 GPA.

Academic wise, Full Sail provides a well structured program for all students attending this university. As you focus on your major you are able to commit to education at the same time. The professors are willing to help you with anything towards your own degree.

There is a lot of work, but there is also enough time to complete it. Help from teachers and lab specialists is available. Group work and presenting in front of the class is common.

Academically the material is more than satisfactory. Course work is challenging but nothing that can't be accomplished. Faculty and staff are more than willing to help, as well tutors and advisers are always there too. with most students using mac Face-Time, ichat and email communications are only a click away.

The course load is heavy but not unbearably so. They have high expectations for their students and push you to meet them. The staff is very professional and pleasant and there are several places to receive all kinds of academic assistance.
