XPRTNovice Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 So, I have a GI Bill that I need to use, because I can't transfer it to anyone else in my family. I don't foresee any degrees I'll need in the future for any of my careers, so I thought, hey, why not get that music education you've always wanted? I'm in the DC/VA area, so I know my in-residence school options are extremely limited. That leaves pretty much two options for online schools: Berklee or Full Sail. I want to focus on composition/production, which is fine because literally the only degree program available to me through those two online universities is Music Production. I have a certificate from Berklee for about 15 credits worth of classes already from another time in my life, so that seems like the easy option. I'm just wondering if anyone has any opinions/advice on what someone in my situation might do. Or, more specifically, if anyone has gotten a degree through Berklee's online program and what they thought about it. I'm definitely open to considering in-residence options if there are reputable ones in my area, but I haven't heard of any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexstyle Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I'm biased (because I went to a rival school), but we didn't hear a whole lot of good stuff about Full Sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Go to Berklee online, you could be the next online Dream Theater Maybe they'll help you with producing metal! <3 <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshaggyfreak Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I got the certification for Orchestration for Film and TV a couple of years ago from Berklee online. I definitely got my moneys worth from those classes. The setup that they have really works as long as you're a self starter. I highly recommend it!

theshaggyfreak Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 By the way, this is the guy that taught the courses that I took. He's a guy full of real world knowledge and gives a lot of helpful feedback. http://bennewhousemusic.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
