As Full Sail is a technology college, it does not offer music composition. It does offer a music business degree. Full Sail, which is located in Orlando, Florida, is accredited by a career college accrediting association rather than a regional accrediting association, so if you are interested in transferring to another college it is unlikely that your Full Sail credits would be accepted. The accrediting association that accredits such colleges as Rollins in Winter Park, Florida, is the SACS, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Rollins has an outstanding music program which includes courses in music composition.
According to the testimonials on its web site, Full Sail is well respected for the specialized courses it teaches. The courses related to music are record label development, music business law and contract negotiation, artist management, music copyright and publishing, etc.

Full Sail has great programs, if you plan to go into the entertainment industry, that is. My cousin just graduated with a degree in music production, and she’s already getting noticed by major recording companies, etc.
It’s not a normal undergrad school though, and lots of people opt to attend after they attend undergrad; but it really depends on the person and their future career goals.
Go to the website and click on “Recording Arts”

Full Sail is a technical school that is a “for-profit” organization. They are very expensive. Their advertising is very slick and well-done. Their credits do not transfer to other schools. Their program is very hard. Not everyone can take the pace.
Is it for you? Maybe. Only you can decide.
But a lot of people have been disappointed by their experience there.
Search the Internet for a lot of views. Use basic college search sites to see options. Search yourself for what is your best fit. Visit and compare at least 3 schools before signing anything. Look for substance, not hype. Never take what a salesperson (including a college rep) tells you as the complete truth until you check it out with people who have nothing to gain by telling you something less than the whole truth.
My personal feeling is that regionally accredited, state-supported or other non-profit schools are best for most students.
They are a good buy and allow flexibility. I recommend that anyone going into such fast-changing fields as those taught at Full Sail be very careful about getting a broad education. That high tech expensive piece of equipment that you pay a lot to learn to be an expert on will probably be completely obsolete in a year or so. You need to learn broad principles and techniques and how to think–transferable skills.
See and and.
