Humber’s two-year Acting for Stage and Screen diploma offers comprehensive twenty-first century training for actors. Through scene study, exercises, and collaborative projects, students build the foundational performance skills needed to pursue creative work in the theatre and in front of the camera.

This program combines education in the art and craft of acting with training in business protocols and professional standards. Under guidance of working actors and distinguished directors with decades of experience in theatre, film, television, and multimedia, students develop and apply skills in voice, speech, singing, movement, dance, physical theatre, improvisation, and character work. Students practice auditioning and showcasing their talent and learn to create and build a personal brand while meeting the financial challenges of a freelance acting career. Creativity and technologies that support acting are emphasized.

In their fourth semester, students specialize in either stage performance or on-camera performance, and further personalize their skillset by attending a choice of specialized workshops—from motion capture, voice-over, screen demo and green screen, to virtual production, improvisation and intimacy direction.

We studied this course during 2025, and it requires substantial improvement. Most of the professors are not sufficiently qualified, as many do not hold PhDs. In addition, several instructors teach at multiple colleges simultaneously, which limits their availability and support for students. The course is poorly organized overall. There is significant overlap between the content of different courses, and it was never clearly explained why this duplication exists. This overlap wasted a considerable amount of our time. Assignments are often long and demanding, yet they are scheduled within very short timeframes, combined with an unorganized timetable. Some teachers demonstrate clear bias. We submitted formal complaints to the dean regarding these issues, but the school did not take any noticeable or effective action. There are also cases where teachers fail students without providing clear academic reasons. As a result, many students are forced to repeat the same course for two or even three semesters. After completing this course, job opportunities are not guaranteed. Overall, the program appears to be designed for students interested in PR immigration, but it is not suitable for students who aim to work in the AI field. Based on our experience, the existing 5-star reviews do not seem to reflect the reality of the course and may come from individuals who did not study it or are posting misleading reviews.

I’ve met some of the most inspiring people at Humber — classmates, profs, even guest artists. The vibe on campus is energetic and creative. The media labs are amazing, and I’ve already started freelancing while in school. It’s not perfect (what school is?), but it’s helped me find my voice and my future.
