Don't waste your time or money. Teachers are bored and unhelpful. The staff doesn't know anything and trust me, you won't get a job once you graduate. I applied to 72 radio stations and was denied by all of them because I went to Specs Howard. I have rejections to prove it still.

Don't waste your time going here unless you are a complete beginner, and you know nothing-little about Digital Media. Specs Howard School of Media Arts is essentially a glorified YouTube video. A YouTube video that takes an entire year to complete, and $15,600 (just in tuition) to watch.

This school does not care if you are still working at Jiffy Lube when you graduate. The school says "80 percent of graduates are working in the industry" but what they fail to tell you is most of these jobs are MINIMUM WAGE OR INTERNSHIPS. The teachers don't take the time to help, and the online work the students put up online is a joke.
