The Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection features 14 cutting-edge software programs such as Photoshop Extended, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere, Flash Builder and After Effects, among others. "Our ultimate goal is to create a virtualized learning environment where every student, professor, classroom and computer lab has the same technology advantages regardless of location and major." "Our new partnership with Adobe is yet another example of SCAD's strong commitment to prepare talented students for professional, creative careers," said Andrew Fulp, SCAD vice president for educational technology.

SCAD faculty and staff will have the software automatically updated to their university-issued computers this fall. SCAD students can download the bundled software to one personal computer for free, while students without personal computers can use the software through any of the computers in the university's technology labs. The software is available to the university's more than 11,000 students at no extra charge as long as the students maintain an active status. Thanks to a new enterprise licensing agreement between SCAD, The University for Creative Careers, and Adobe, students enrolled at the university's four global locations in the United States, France and Hong Kong and online via SCAD eLearning now have free, universal access to the most advanced design software in the world: the full Adobe® Creative Suite® Master Collection and Adobe Photoshop® Lightroom®.
