Full Sail University is a for profit trade school located in Winter Park, Florida and founded in 1979 in Dayton, Ohio as Full Sail Recording Workshop. Full Sail relocated to Florida in 1980, adding video production and film production courses and, with the move in 1989 to its current campus, expanded its curriculum to include other entertainment and media-related areas of study. Full Sail began offering online degrees in 2007. Full Sail awards associate's, bachelor's degrees, and master's degrees in audio, film, design, computer animation, business, and other fields, and is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). The school offers 33 degree programs and has a current student population of more than 12,400. In 1978, Full Sail was founded by Jon Phelps. The following year, the school relocated to Orlando, Florida and new courses were added to the core recording arts program. A film program was added in 1988, which marked the school’s initial expansion beyond audio-only programs.
