subject: Full Sail University Online Degrees [print this page] Full Sail University is a legitimate educational institute and they presently have 17 different degree programs. When researching the information, their web site offered me phone contacts, live chat, etc so I chose live chat. It was at that point, I began asking questions, and I received a reply that informed me that if I wanted specific answers to specific questions, then I would have to call a phone number and talk to someone else. This was not what I expected, especially from an institution that prides itself on information and knowledge. I mean if they are going to claim to offer an online degree where all of the training is online, then I just have to ask this question: if you can't answer my simple questions online right now, how do you expect to answer my online questions any better later on when it involves complicated course material?
But, I don't give up easily, so I looked over the website for information about the internet marketing degree. Even though the chat had ended, I was left with unanswered questions like: how much is this going to cost me, what if I had more questions, and how is the course material structured? What I found out is that the average semester is priced at $8,960, with 6.25 semesters mandated for completion of the bachelor of science program in internet marketing.When I total up those figures I get nearly $60,000.
Also, the online bachelor degree program includes 24 courses and each one of those, individually, can be completed in 4 weeks. So roughly speaking that is 2 years to complete the entire program. However, if you wanted to go on to the masters of science degree in internet marketing you would be looking at an additional year as well as an additional cost of another $31,000.
So it really does look like Full Sail University Online Degrees are legitimate and you can graduate with a master of science degree in only 3 years, but the cost should be somewhere near $90,000. There are of course alternatives to Full Sail University, like iMMACC, which teaches internet marketing for around only $2000. There is also the University of San Francisco, or usanfran online, which also offers a university certificate. That program can be completed for about $20,000.
Education is can be expensive, but it shouldn't require the student to be in debt for the rest of his/her life. When searching for your specific career curriculum, you must weigh pros and cons of the amount of education vs. the amount of money required to receive that education, as well as the length of time it will take you to pay off that education.
