Degree Spotlight: Information Technology at Full Sail University
The Information Technology Bachelor of Science at Full Sail University
Full Sail’s Information Technology degree program is designed to help you master the essentials of programming languages, system architecture, and networking technologies. You'll also learn to scale, automate, and optimize systems, focusing on cybersecurity — making it second nature.
“What sets us apart is that our students don’t just learn — they do,” says Full Sail’s Information Technology Program Director Sean Phalen. “We go beyond theory and explanation, allowing our students to immediately apply what they’ve learned through hands-on, practical projects that make a real impact.”
With real-world portfolio projects built into the curriculum, you'll graduate with tangible examples of your work, which can make you highly marketable in the tech industry. Beyond technical expertise, you’ll also develop crucial skills for working with clients, understanding their needs, and delivering results.
At Full Sail, you can gain the knowledge and experience to thrive in today's fast-paced tech landscape. According to Full Sail grad and HBO Vice President of Media and Production Operations Stephen Beres, communication has been vital to his success.
He explains, "A lot of what our role is in the production and technology group is to help our counterparts who don't know or need to know or want to know… what it is that we do, but need to understand where we fit into the process and how our pieces fit together."
At Full Sail, in addition to technical skills, courses are also designed so you can learn to think critically, solve complex problems creatively, and stay ahead of emerging technologies. Sean says, “One of the greatest gifts we can give our students is the ability to self-educate and tackle problems they’ve never seen before with confidence.”
The most successful students in this program are those passionate about learning – curious thinkers who ask the right questions. Full Sail’s graduates have become solutions analysts, cloud applications engineers, VPs of media and production operations, security engineers, and business owners. They work behind the scenes, distributing vast amounts of sensitive data across complex networks quickly and efficiently.
“I got into IT because no two days are the same,” Sean explains. “Every day brings a new challenge, a new puzzle to solve. If you’re a student who thrives on solving puzzles and thinking outside the box, this program is for you.”
