<p>I know a few working professionals who went to Full Sail and they love the program there. They say you really learn a LOT.
[Film</a> Bachelor’s Degree : Full Sail](<a href=“http://www.fullsail.edu/degrees/film-bachelors]Film”>http://www.fullsail.edu/degrees/film-bachelors)</p>
<p>There was a cautionary tale about Full Sail University posted on CC last fall:</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/790800-grants-somebody-w-bachelors-degree-no-other-school-recognizes.html?highlight=full+sail[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/financial-aid-scholarships/790800-grants-somebody-w-bachelors-degree-no-other-school-recognizes.html?highlight=full+sail</a></p>
<p>The school is not accredited so none of its credits will transfer and its degree is not recognized by other schools. It is a for-profit trade school that may indeed give you the specialized training you seek, but it is certainly not a “university.”</p>
<p>oh huh. I didn’t know that. I’ve heard it’s a great way to become familiar with everything that goes into a movie. That stinks about the bad stuff, though. The grads all seem very competent, though, and they have expertise in just about every area of crew.</p>
<p>Baylor University

<p>Baylor’s program is actually really good, especially considering it lacks the funding a school like USC has.</p>

<p>Elon University School of Communications. It’s is one of their largest majors.</p>
<p>Rumor on the street is that Kenyon will have a program next year</p>
<p>Brown University, anyone?

<p>Syracuse University just has two film programs; one is the TV - Radio - Film program in the Newhouse School, while the other is located in the VPA.
College of Visual and Performing Arts - Art, Design and Transmedia - Film
[Syracuse</a> University College of Visual and Performing Arts](<a href=“http://vpa.syr.edu/]Syracuse”>http://vpa.syr.edu/)
The former one is more related to the television and media, while the latter one is more about the art and film itself.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how the film programs in Virginia compare between VCU, JMU, and GMU? They all have them. VCU is a great arts and design school. JMU’s program looks solid, and GMU’s as well though their photos show outdated video equipment.</p>
<p>My son wants to be a digital film editor and we won’t be able to afford USC, NYU, Columbia, etc if he even had the grades/test scores to get in there. JMU is harder to get into than VCU, but I imagine admission to the film program at VCU is competitive. JMU requires that you apply to the major after you are already a student, whereas VCU and GMU let you apply direct entry as a prospective freshman. We live 15 mins away from GMU, so that is my son’s third choice since it’s too close. :-)</p>

<p>Has anyone heard of the school “The International Academy of Film and Television”?</p>
<p>It’s in Burbank and I think they just opened a year or two ago. They are still accepting applications for an August start and the tuition is really low, so I’d like to hear if anyone has any experience with them.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard of them or gone in for a tour?</p>
