In 2016, the University announced that it had paired with Adobe Systems to provide all students and faculty with free access to Adobe Creative Cloud software — which includes design mainstays such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Dreamweaver. An individual student license normally costs upwards of $240 a year.

With the right tools, students now can thrive completing this project while building an impressive digital portfolio throughout their Carolina career.
