Full Sail was originally established in Ohio in 1979, offering audio courses that were taught by industry professionals. Courses were also conducted in Orlando, and as interest and enrollment increased, Full Sail permanently moved to Orlando in 1980. Since then, Full Sail has gradually added additional Associate's, Bachelor’s, and Master’s Degrees.
