Full Sail University is pleased to announce it has been recognized as an Apple Distinguished School for the September 2026-December 2029 program term.

“At Full Sail University, creativity and technology aren't just connected. They are inseparable,” says Isis Jones, Full Sail’s Chief Information Officer. “We're a university built for the entertainment media and technology industries, and Apple is at the center of how our students learn to make things that matter.”
What is an Apple Distinguished School?
Apple Distinguished Schools are centers of leadership and educational excellence, with a clear vision for how technology-rich environments support learning goals. In Apple Distinguished Schools, forward-thinking leaders and their communities work to inspire, imagine, and impact teaching and learning, and they have documented results of academic accomplishments.
How is Full Sail University using Apple technology in its classes?
Full Sail’s curriculum is designed to mimic real-world workflows in entertainment media and emerging technologies, and Full Sail’s classes evolve alongside advances in technology.
“The work [in some of Full Sail’s classes] now includes immersive video production for Apple Vision Pro, created with the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera and mixed using Apple Spatial Audio tools,” says Bec Godsey, a Course Director in Full Sail’s Game Business & Esports program. “52 Apple Vision Pro headsets are currently in use across our labs.”
One of those labs is Full Sail’s Spatial Computing Innovation Lab, where students from a range of degree programs can explore spatial computing technology through hands-on projects with Apple devices.
How does Apple technology help disabled students at Full Sail?
The Apple products used at Full Sail can help disabled students who need assistive technology to succeed in their classes.
“With tools like spoken content, color filters, and live captions built directly into Apple devices, students can personalize how they access course content from day one,” says Kirsten Johnson, Full Sail’s Director of Student Success.
