Full Sail Named Top 5 Film School
UNleashed Magazine honors Full Sail’s Film Program
UNleashed Magazine named Full Sail one of the 5 Best Film Schools
Ending 2005 with a bang, Full Sail’s Film program received a unique honor from Unleashed Magazine – as the cutting-edge publication named Full Sail as one of the “Top Five Best Film Schools” in its year-end issue.
The 3-page feature placed Full Sail alongside such landmark colleges as NYU and UCLA, with the article highlighting Full Sail’s commitment to the latest and greatest industry gear as one of the standouts of the Film degree’s curriculum.
However, Full Sail’s advanced curriculum also came in for praise, as the article noted, “With the expansion of film into advanced computer generated imaging, Full Sail offers a curriculum that keeps pace with industry standards and demands. Students are encouraged to explore and apply current advancements in the field of computer animation/imaging and push the envelop of the visual and creative arts.”
This recognition caps off an incredible year for the Film program, in which the program expanded from an associate to a bachelor’s degree program. Dave Franko, Full Sail’s Program Director for Film, is especially excited about this recent mention. “It’s a special honor for the Film program to be handpicked by Unleashed. Not many colleges can sit on a list with these institutions, and Full Sail’s staff is really proud to be in such esteemed company.”
This recent acclaim for the Film program, when combined with the previous recognition of Full Sail as one of the “5 Best Music Programs” in the country (Rolling Stone), a “Top 5 Game Design School” (Electronic Gaming Monthly), the #3 “New Media School in the World” (Shift Magazine), and one of the “Top Music Business Departments” (Schools that Rock: The Rolling Stone College Guide), solidifies Full Sail’s position as one of the nation’s top colleges.
“We pride ourselves on offering a unique education here at Full Sail, and to have that hard work recognized by an industry publication is really satisfying,” Franko adds. “The entire Film staff is honored by this recognition, and we’re are looking forward to helping the program evolve even further in the years to come.”
