If he’s smart he should go to a real college and get an electrical engineering degree or something similar, so that in the future if he wants, he can actually find a job.

But if audio engineering, as in recording music, is really what he wants to do, there are many options.

The Audio Engineering Society has a list of schools, by geographical location, that might interest you:

RE:
For audio engineering, college or trade school (ex:Full Sail)?
My boyfriend is looking at schools for audio engineering. I'm hearing mixed reviews. We live in Florida so the obvious option is Full Sail. Is it worth the money? Is it just an overpriced trade school? Should he find a regular college for accredibility or is Full Sail a great option? We…

Today they usually refer to “trade” school as “vocational” training! A trade/skills based program is referring to a “fast-track” type program to enter into the “hands-on” type professions. Today, almost every profession has these type of programs. In addition to “hand-on” training, they prepared students for “certification and/or licensing”. Also, depending on the type of program, for example Computer IT, you may find college graduates attending to rapidly acquire “equivalent experience”. It’s the quickest way for gaining employment in the shortest amount of time. The focus of college curriculum is not “skills based”. I’ll try to simplify what college is. Look at it as “finishing school” that takes much longer and you’re required to take a broader range of subjects and courses. The vocational school is very focused on just the “skills/technical” aspects of a “trade”. Having said that, there are also folks that have been in trade for several years that go back to college to earn their degrees. They are generally looking to either change professions or move into another aspect of their trade/business. Another example, would be the Military, they send their people to training schools based on their specialties. They have the equivalent (if not better vocational schools) than anything you’ll find on the outside.

i am a sound engineer (for 2years) full sail is ok like the army is ok
