Full Sail University; experiences, problems, accredidation?

Asked by patg7590 (4608points) November 5th, 2009

I currently attend a crappy non profit almost community college and am strongly considering going to Full Sail for the Web Design and Development program. I have a few questions:

Has anyone gone there? Can you share your experience?

Can anyone clear up the accreditation?

From the wiki
Full Sail University is accredited by the ACCSCT, which is a national accreditor of primarily vocational schools and career schools within the United States.

The Commission’s accreditation standards require measurement of student outcomes, graduate employment assistance, and a baseline rate of job placement. Additional accreditation standards also require instructors to have experience within their respective industries, as well as necessary academic credentials, and that accredited schools maintain an advisory committee composed of industry professionals who help determine curriculum goals and content.

Most four year colleges and universities in the U.S. are regionally accredited, and do not recognize national accreditation such as ACCSCT (see [31]), though it is at their discretion to accept credits on a case-by-case basis. As Full Sail does not have regional accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools credits are not widely transferable to traditional four-year colleges throughout the United States.

Thanks Jellies!
