May I respectfully suggest that you carefully research the job market, or lack thereof, for game designers as well as the credibility, or lack thereof, of degrees from Full Sale University before paying any money to them. This is a for-profit proprietary school whose mission is to make money for its owners, It is not regionally accredited and therefore classes completed there are seldom accepted for transfer credit by other universities. Why is it not regionally accredited like the University of Florida, Duke, Harvard and other traditional schools?

It’s incredibly expensive. I used to work at a community college in Florida, where former Full Sail students would attend once they couldn’t afford the tuition payment anymore. Expect to pay tens of thousands of dollars. Schools like that don’t list tuition information b/c they want you to be impressed with their facilities & programs first (they are a for-profit institution). Federal financial aid will not cover the tuition, so expect to take out expensive private loans and possibly make out of pocket payments.
Also, they are not regionally accredited by SACS, so any courses you take there will not transfer to any other SACS accredited institution (like public colleges & universities).
I’m sorry I don’t have any sources other than personal experience with former students. You may want to consider attending UCF if you want to be in the Orlando area. It’s cheaper & accredited and they have a great program in digital media and other technologies.
