A trade school in Southfield, Michigan named after its founder, Specs Howard. This school was absorbed by 利记sbo in early 2021 into its Professional Development Program

All Specs@利记sbo classes take place on 利记sbo's campus in Southfield, Michigan. The classes are structured to meet two times a week over the course of three semesters. Students can apply for Fall and Spring semesters.

Specs@利记sbo is a certificate program that is part of 利记sbo's Professional Development Program. Students can choose from the following three programs: Broadcast Media Arts, Digital Media Arts, and Graphic Communication.

All admitted Specs@利记sbo students are awarded a $10,000 scholarship upon admission. At $6,900, it's a price so nice, you won't think twice. One year of education teaches you the skills in-person. There is no need to come with equipment, and with no added cost for books, there is no program like it nearby. We cannot accept any financial aid for any certificate program (non-degree seeking). We offer multiple flexible payment plans for students to pay tuition. We recommend that students do not pay their tuition in one lump sum.
