Full Sail
Credit-By-Examination Program for Working Professionals
Students seeking master’s degrees in Entertainment Business, Business Intelligence, or Digital Marketing have the option to test out of up to five courses in their degree program.
On-the-job experience is one of the most valuable forms of education. That’s why Full Sail developed a credit-by-examination program made to acknowledge working professionals seeking an Entertainment Business master's, Business Intelligence master's, or Digital Marketing masters's. As part of this program, new students with at least five years of experience in a related field have the option to test out of up to five courses and reduce tuition cost by 3 to 3.5 credit hours, depending on the class.
“To better serve our student population of working professionals, those students who have expertise in a particular class have the opportunity to test out of the course – saving them both time and money when it comes to completing their degree,” says Dave Franko, Full Sail’s Vice President of Academic Affairs.
How It Works
- Tests are free.
- Students may only test out of five courses.
- Each test may only be taken once and prior to the course start date.
- Some courses are not eligible for credit by examination, such as Mastery and Capstone classes.
- You must demonstrate mastery of the course objectives by passing the test with a score of 85% to be awarded credit for the course.
