The CSB Media Arts Center was originally founded as Connecticut School of Broadcasting in 1964 by Dick Robinson as a small, private school in Connecticut. Known now as the CSB Media Arts Center, it is the largest group of Digital Media Arts Schools (Broadcast Media School, Code School, Social Media Marketing School, and Film Schools) that trains students for careers in emerging technologies.

The Web Developer Program prepares students for entry-level work as a Jr. Web Developer, such as learning to code. The full stack course is taught by industry professionals, and the curriculum was chosen specifically to suit the needs of the local job market. Students learn to understand coding logic using web design involving HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, relational databases using SQL, PHP and JavaScript.

The Social Media Marketing Specialist Program's intent is to teach students how to use social media as a tool to increase brand awareness, obtain leads, and increase sales.

The Digital Filmmaking Program trains students how to write, shoot, direct, and edit their own short, character-driven comedy, drama, or horror short films. Students can also have the option of creating a television pilot. Students will shoot on HD cameras, learn industry standard lighting techniques, and edit on Adobe Premiere Pro. Students train in small group classes and are taught by industry professionals. The training program has four main components: screen-writing, pre-production, production, and post-production.

The Broadcast Media Program is a hands-on, learn-by-doing program designed to train students in audio and video production, podcasting, sports, radio, television and more.
