Is full sail university regionally accredited?

Answer 1

Technically no. It's accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges, which is not one of the regional accrediting bodies recognized by the US Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.

However, ACCSC is recognized by USDOE and/or CHEA as a legitimate national accrediting body. So Full Sail University is accredited in a way that actually MEANS something, as opposed to being "accredited" in name only.

Answer 2

It is not college accredited. It is "career accredited". To put it simply, there is no guarantee that Full Sail's course credits will transfer over to another college or university should you choose to leave Full Sail.

Answer 3

no, but some might be willing to debate this. One of the definitions of scam is "an attempt to defraud a person or group by gaining their confidence."

If you read the varying reviews of Full Sail University you will find that there are some people that feel that they've been scammed. There seem to be many, very vocal, unhappy, former Full Sail students out there. Many of the statement from those that attended Full Sail have issues with their inability to acquire a job in a specific field of work.

Full Sail University should not be required to find graduates work but Full Sail should be held accountable and not be allowed to send graduates out into saturated fields. Graduates should also meet the same standards that traditional post-secondary schools must meet. This means not giving diplomas to people that write at less than a sixth grade level.
