Design with Adobe Creative Cloud
The Adobe Creative Cloud (ACC) is a suite of software and web-based applications that creative professionals worldwide use. The suite includes over twenty individual applications that allow you to edit video and audio, process digital images, create single and multi-page layouts, render 3D objects, and many more. An ACC license also provides access to cloud storage and asset management between the various applications.
Who Can Use It?
Boston University is an Adobe Creative Campus, which means that all undergraduate, graduate and professional students have access to university-sponsored licenses to these applications. Generally speaking, instructors of record for undergraduate courses are eligible to receive a university-sponsored license as well.

For Students: Adobe Creative Jams
The Adobe Creative Jam is an event where student participants are inspired by a presenting speaker, get trained on a software product from an expert, and complete the challenge at hand. Student teams from around the world create solutions and then present their work to a jury of industry experts. Boston University has been an active participant in a variety of Jams since 2018.
