A degree from an accredited university carries more weight in the real world and can even get you involved in interesting graduate-level work.
Good enough, apparently.
This is a bit of nit-pick at this point, but i felt it beared mentioning.
Full Sail actually is now at this point a fully accredited university. I don't go but I know quite a few that do. Graduates of the RA department get a B.S. degree, they have to take core classes (maths, sciences, liberal arts, etc) just like you would at a 4-year school and have to go for the same time.
Graduates from RA get a bad wrap though, not because of the school, but because of the majority of them having a lack of work ethic. Its like a high paid baby-sitting service.
