Pretty much none, Humber has a completely different program than that which is offered at ACCD/CCS,at humber ull be doing some classes that are completely irrelevant to design, like technical drawing,Phycology ,Art History.

How are technical drawings, psychology, art history courses irrelevant to design? Anyone who wants to be a well disciplined 'designer' should be applying those exact courses to their practice.

Believe me i wouldn't say they were irrelevant if the course was well organized. It's equivalent to what i learned in highschool.

The bottom line is graduating from humber will give u a Bachelors of applied technology degree, which at its standard is very low and miss considered...apposed to what you'll be finishing from ACCD, with a Bachelors of fine art and having a career in car design fresh from school without going all the way to do masters. Masters will be an option that may be even covered by the company u may end up working.


ACCD offers a bachelors of science in transportation design.

so if I dont finish Humber's program and I go to ACCD, then im guessing they will look at my highschool marks, right?

in which case, what will they be looking for? and what marks are they expecting?

between grade 12 university level english, 12U chemistry and 12 U Advance Funtions, I have an average of 85%. Im also taking 12U Art and Design, 12U Physics and 12U Exercise Science this semester. what else may I need?

Yeah, i confused it with CCS which offers BA of Fine art. Nonetheless both are recognized on world class standard, than that of the Humber one.

ACCD/CCS mainly focus on your Portfolio, they want to see how you think visually and your problem solving skills in design...which make sense, they don't want somebody with an 90 average who cant draw.

Well ofcourse, if i remember correctly they want a 75 average, but a great portfolio is ur ticket in...what you should do is go to the ACCD site and read all about it. Request a catalog if you need it, its free.

ok, so I emailed them and I also requested a catalogue.


Thanks a lot Alexei! Youve been a huge help.


BTW, does Humber even do clay modeling? Im assuming ACCD does.

At Humber they don't have enough money and tools to be making clay models, so students are left with only option of using insulation blue foam to make their models, and the results were bad.
