An Introduction to Antioch College
The purpose of an Antioch College education is to prepare students
for lives of significance and service and for engaged and effective
citizenship, whether they choose to pursue graduate education or
embark directly on a career.
The College believes education is a process of helping each individual
to develop in his or her own way to his or her utmost capacity. An
independent liberal arts college originally founded in 1850, Antioch
College is imbued with the spirit of the words of its first president,
Horace Mann: “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for
humanity.”
Antioch College is the only liberal arts institution in the nation to
require a comprehensive off-campus cooperative work program for all
of its students. Democracy and shared governance are at the heart of
Antioch College. Students are partners in developing the structure of
community governance at the institution.
The College awards Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees.
The general education program includes courses in the arts, humanities,
sciences and social sciences; global seminars in which students critically
analyze global problems through an interdisciplinary study of resources
and systems; theme-based writing and quantitative skills seminars; work
portfolio courses delivered online while students are on cooperative
education work assignments; and the senior reflection paper.
