Meanwhile, students enrolled in the School of Arts, Culture, and Performance (SACP), School of Environment and Design (SED), School of New Media Arts (SNMA), SMIT’s Game Design and Development program (BS-GDD), and SDEAS’ Applied Deaf Studies program (BAPDST) have direct access to Adobe Creative Cloud applications. Faculty access is granted based on course assignments, allowing for targeted integration of professional-grade tools in relevant subjects.

Beyond software access, students and educators can earn Adobe-certified digital badges that strengthen their portfolios and career profiles. The designation also grants access to global training and development programs such as the Adobe Education Institute, Digital Academy, and themed webinars, all designed to promote creative fluency and responsible engagement with emerging technologies like generative AI.

Benilde is one of only two institutions in Southeast Asia to receive this designation, according to Adobe’s Southeast Asia Head of Education. This recognition contributes to the College’s growing reputation as a future-ready and digitally empowered learning community.

The milestone complements Benilde’s recognition as an Apple Distinguished School since 2017, reaffirmed through multiple evaluation cycles. Together, both honors position the College as a national leader in inclusive, innovation-driven, and creativity-focused education.
