Overview

Originally founded in 1964 by Dick Robinson as a small, private school in Connecticut, offering only minor classes in radio performance, CSB has grown to become one of the nation's leading educational institutes that maintained close ties to the world's leading media outlet corporations such as CBS, NBC, CNN and Clear Channel Communications.[citation needed]

Instructional methods

Classes are taught by industry professionals who may work in the business. The Connecticut School of Broadcasting uses a seasonal semester schedule, providing 8-week day and 16-week evening classes in March, July and November. The Charlotte campus has an extended curriculum including new media technology, lasting six to eight months. All schools teach with a hands on approach that helps adjust the student to a real world job environment.[2]

Closure

On March 4, 2009 the broadcasting school closed its doors after 45 years since its original opening in 1964. The reason cited was a weak economy. One day after shutting-down, the school filed for bankruptcy.[3]

In May 2009, Dick Robinson purchased the school and it was reopened in June 2009.[4]

Facilities

The Connecticut School of Broadcasting chain of schools includes 12 campuses in the continental United States, primarily in larger cities, offering its alumni lifetime use of their equipment and studios. The following cities housed studios and classrooms owned by CSB[5]:
