Specs Howard (born Julian “Jerry” Liebman) created the Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts in Southfield, Michigan and since the school’s inception in 1970, thousands of people have graduated and gone on to have successful radio and television broadcasting careers.

In late 2009, the Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts became the Specs Howard School of Media Arts due to the addition of graphic design and film courses.

His name “Specs” was reportedly taken for his wearing of glasses, and “Howard” randomly out of a phone book.
