Full Sail University

It seems silly to opt for a degree that would likely eliminate or severely limit your ability to pursue a possible goal you stated. There are programs available in the same general price range at RA schools that aren't MBAs that would let you keep that option open. Southern New Hampshire has a non MBA masters in digital marketing that is slightly less expensive, but might require more time to complete. There are others as well, but not sure what your exact criteria are.
I'm sure the program at Full Sail is fine and will lead to some career opportunities if completed, just not sure those career opportunities are the ones you are looking for, as you only stated the CC teaching role, which is an unlikely opportunity with that particular program. If you are going to be happy with the options the Full Sail degree provides, then go for it. If there's even a slight possibility that you will regret closing off other opportunities,  then consider something possibly slightly more expensive or longer that won't.
I don't have any issues with perusing a degree at a for profit school (I currently am). Nor any with NA schools. Although, my general advice with NA degrees is to be sure it will be accepted to fulfill whatever degree requirement you are hoping to fulfill. This will vary by industry and employer. One of my friends got her BA in paralegal studies from an online NA school because it was a program certified or accredited (not sure the terminology) by the bar association,  which made it a better choice than the local RA school's program that did not hold that distinction. That was a requirement for the promotion she wanted, while the RA/NA factor was not.
If you know what kinds of jobs you want to pursue after you get the degree, try looking for posts from potential employers to see if they have any specific requirements for regional accreditation or possibly professional association designations. It would just really suck to spend the time and money on the degree thinking you can work in digital marketing for say, airlines, and find out that no airlines will accept the degree and you get stuck working in digital marketing for the inflatable garage company, because it was the one place you found that accepted your degree as fulfilling their requirements.

Thank you for your reply! I just don't understand why people are so against for profit schools and NA schools. I did do some reading this morning on The Art Institutes and how they went under. All of the students were screwed basically. They had limited transfer options and still had a mountain of debt. I have started looking some more after reading all of that ugliness. I found some interesting options. They do cost more, but the programs cover more. Emerson College looks pretty great, but oooh that price tag. Yikes!
