Full Sail’s online courses and degrees are driven by

a real-world approach that uses current technology

to educate and inspire. Through the capabilities

of today’s Internet, traditional assignments are

complemented by videos, animations, and interactive

with educational environments that are on par with

some of the best production facilities in the world.

In these studios, labs, and classrooms, students

gain real-world experience with the creative and

technical tools employed at all levels of the industry.

At the same time, they learn the same production

workfl ow used in fi lm productions, recording sessions,

live events, animation and design projects, and in

the development of video games, websites, and

entertainment business strategies.

Whether on campus or online, Full Sail’s goal is to

deliver a real-world educational experience that is

engaging and exceptional.

Empower our students through

an active relationship with the

the companies that make up the entertainment and

media industry, both in the United States and around

the world. At Full Sail, every degree program goes

through ongoing assessment and evolution, ensuring

that students receive an education that is current

and relevant. This is accomplished through industry

feedback and insight, and the specifi c guidance of

groups of entertainment and media professionals who

make up Program Advisory Committees for each of

our degrees. In addition, our commitment to a close

relationship with the industry allows employers to

easily recruit qualifi ed talent, and also allows our

Career Development Department to promote our

Connect students with educators

and industry guests who inspire

and challenge

The core of Full Sail is our staff, many of whom

bring years of industry credentials and educational

experience to our campus. Because many of our

educators and guests are active in the professional

community through conventions, industry affi liations,

and professional projects, they are able to inspire

Full Sail moves into its current home in Winter Park, Florida

Since Full Sail’s inception in 1979, over 34,000 graduates

have prepared for careers in the entertainment and media

industry. The following features some of the highlights of

Full Sail’s history as well as that of our graduates.

In 1980, Full Sail moved from its original home in Dayton,

Ohio to Orlando, Florida. During the six years that followed,

new audio courses were added to the original recording arts

offering until, in 1986, the Recording Arts Comprehensive

Program was introduced. In 1988, a new curriculum with

a focus on the visual arts was born — the Video and Film

Production Comprehensive Program. In July 1989, Full Sail

moved into its current home in Winter Park, Florida

(a suburb of Orlando) which has since expanded into

a 110+ studio multimedia campus.

August 1990 marked a milestone in history when Full Sail

received accreditation allowing students to earn Specialized

Associate Degrees upon successful completion of the

curricula in the Recording Arts and/or Film and Video

Production Programs. A third Specialized Associate Degree

in Digital Media was launched in March 1995 – this addition

marked Full Sail’s entrance into training for the vast,

emerging fi eld of interactive media.

March 1998 witnessed the introduction of the Game

Design Specialized Associate Degree as well as the Show

Production & Touring Specialized Associate Degree.

In January of that same year, Full Sail achieved additional

accreditation and licensing enabling students to earn

Associate of Science Degrees in Recording Arts, Film

and Video Production, and Digital Media.

Areas of Focus

The program has been designed to provide

you with foundations in audio basics before

immersing you in project-based courses.

You’ll explore the networking,

project-management, and client-relation skills

necessary to thrive in this entrepreneurial

fi eld, while also learning how to translate

client requests into professional-sounding

content in your own home studio. Whether

you’re operating out of your bedroom or a

commercial studio, or recording live music,

harnessing the power of computer-based

production is an essential step in achieving

your goals.

As the recording industry continues its rapid

evolution, it’s more important than ever that

audio professionals are able to think beyond

the traditional studio. Conventional studios

have combined with home project studios

to form a new model for audio production.

While brick and mortar facilities still set

the standard for quality, project studios are

effi cient, mobile, and easily modifi ed to

produce professional quality sound in what

are often less-than-optimal settings, and the

fl exibility that comes with an untethered

studio is apparent to both seasoned

professionals and beginning engineers alike.

Full Sail’s Audio Production associate of

science degree encourages independence and

entrepreneurial thinking in light of the project

studio revolution. Geared toward individuals

with a self-starting mentality, the program

brings Full Sail’s team of knowledgeable

industry professionals to you through the

power of digital learning.
