9. FULL SAIL
I finally found the MCBS
program at Full Sail. It was a
perfect choice for me. I loved
that industry professionals
taught the classes and that it
was a really immersive learning
environment. A big selling point
for me was that Full Sail really
wanted to provide their students
with a “real world” environment.
