COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 28, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Beonair Network of Media Schools, a family of four schools and seven campuses offering diploma and degree programs in audio production, video production, digital media production, film and video production, sports broadcasting, and related fields, has achieved a significant milestone in its accreditation journey. The network has been recognized by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC), with Ohio Media School - Columbus joining Illinois Media School - Chicago and Colorado Media School - Denver as the third campus in the Beonair Network to earn the prestigious School of Distinction award.
This accolade is particularly noteworthy as it marks the third campus in three different states to receive this honor. The award is given to accredited member schools that demonstrate a commitment to the expectations and rigors of ACCSC accreditation, as well as a commitment to delivering quality educational programs to students. The ACCSC review process evaluates each campus's curriculum, equipment, faculty qualifications, student surveys, graduation and employment records, catalog, enrollment agreement, and its handling of money, complaints, and refunds. Each campus also maintains a Program Advisory Committee of working media professionals from its own market, whose feedback must be documented and acted upon.
The ACCSC School of Distinction award is a testament to the rigorous standards and consistent quality of education provided by the Beonair Network of Media Schools. The network's campuses, which include Ohio Media School - Columbus, Illinois Media School - Chicago, Colorado Media School - Denver, and Miami Media School, serve different student populations in various media markets. In Chicago, students and staff at Illinois Media School - Chicago produce live game audio and video for Windy City Bulls home games at NOW Arena and Chicago Dogs games at Impact Field. In Denver, Colorado Media School faculty includes a technical producer for Altitude Sports and a Telly Award-winning producer-director whose credits include NASA TV. In Columbus, Sports Broadcasting instructor Marty Bannister calls high school football for WSYX/ABC 6 and Ohio University athletics for ESPN3.
What the ACCSC review affirms is the same rigor applied across the board, regardless of location. The award is not a one-time achievement but a daily commitment to excellence.
The Beonair Network of Media Schools offers programs in Radio & Television Broadcasting, Digital Media Production, Audio Production, Film & Video Production, and Sports Broadcasting, with Social Media Marketing and Podcast Production launching in October 2026. Students train from their first day in professional studios and edit suites under instructors who are working media professionals. The network's faculty of active industry professionals provides students with hands-on training and opportunities to gain real-world experience through live productions and industry partnerships.
The ACCSC School of Distinction award is a mark of the network's commitment to delivering quality education and preparing students for success in the media industry. Accreditation by an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education is a condition for schools to participate in federal student aid programs. It ensures that the curriculum, equipment, and faculty qualifications meet the highest standards, and it is why a diploma from an accredited institution is recognized by employers and other schools.
