Inspired by the pioneering work of nineteenth-century educator Horace Mann, Antioch University is a vital, vocal advocate for higher education that promotes the common good, prizes experiential learning, and draws on the strength of a diverse academic community. Established in 1964, the modern Antioch University traces its roots back to Mann’s visionary leadership of an independent, non-sectarian college founded in 1852. Learn more...

Antioch University Vision Antioch aspires to be a leading university offering learners and communities transformative education in a global context that fosters innovation and inspires social action.

(http://www.antioch.edu/explore-antioch/mission-and-vision) Statement on Antioch University's Policy of Freedom of Inquiry and of Academic Freedom [Authority: Board of Trustees, May 1941; reaffirmed May 1948; reaffirmed, as applicable to the University, March 2007] Freedom of inquiry and freedom of communication are essential to human dignity and progress and to self-government. That freedom is won at great cost and can be maintained only with courage and vigilance, especially during times of great stress, such as may be ahead. The Board of Trustees of Antioch University takes this occasion to assure the faculty and students of Antioch University that it shares with them this commitment to freedom of inquiry and of expression, and will support them in maintaining it. The value of a University is that it supplies leadership and equips men and women for leadership in citizenship. It is not enough that a University meet the minimum standards of citizenship. Members of the University community should be expected to meet reasonable standards of propriety and good taste, and to have a decent respect for the opinions of mankind. The dangers to freedom in inquiry and of expression are not only from without. Abuse of such freedom by members of a university community would be one of the surest ways of undermining it. The members of the university community, therefore, by acting with good will, good taste and with a sense of fitness, greatly contribute to maintaining and strengthening the heritage of freedom.

Antioch University’s governance structure is based on several fundamental assumptions: • Antioch University strives to be a unique national educational resource committed to progressive, innovative, and quality education for adult students • The governance structure contributes to achieving Antioch University’s mission, priorities and objectives • The governance structure clearly articulates and provides for each program’s curriculum to be developed and implemented by the faculty to achieve Antioch University’s educational mission • The governance structure provides for appropriate and meaningful involvement of student, faculty, staff, and administration in decision-making processes and facilitates communication, promotes cooperation, and encourages effective and efficient operation • The governance structure judiciously uses institutional, human, and fiscal resources to achieve its mission, priorities, and objectives Antioch University provides a wide range of opportunities for broad involvement in governance. Principal legal and fiduciary responsibility for the University rests with the University Board of Governors, which appoints the University Chancellor to oversee the University’s five campuses and other operations. Principal operational responsibility for the Los Angeles campus rests with the Antioch University Los Angeles President, who provides campus leadership and is responsible to the AULA Board of Trustees and the Chancellor of Antioch University. AULA’s Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, in concert with the faculty Program Chairs and other directors in Academic Affairs, provides campus leadership in the development of curriculum. The faculty as a whole is responsible for curricular innovation and excellence, for providing a challenging student-centered classroom environment, and for modeling a community of lifelong learning. Student voices related to policy issues are directed to the President and the Provost as appropriate. AULA alumni are served by the volunteer Alumni Council. Key campus committees include faculty and staff, and often student and alumni, representation. The campus has several governing and advisory bodies, a wide range of faculty and staff meetings, and community-wide meetings to provide input into campus operations and directions. Administration and Leadership Please see here. (http://www.antioch.edu/explore-antioch/leadership) 8 Antioch University Los Angeles Antioch University Los Angeles Antioch University Los Angeles (AULA) is a place where individual spirit thrives and collective community grows. Beginning with just twelve students in 1972, Antioch University Los Angeles now educates more than 1000 adult students each year. With more than 8,000 distinguished alumni, AULA has been honored to serve the diverse communities of the greater Los Angeles area for over forty years. Our core values of social justice, service to community, and lifelong learning comprise the heart of our BA degree completion program and master’s degree programs in organizational management, education and teacher credentialing, non-profit management, psychology, urban sustainability, and creative writing. Partnerships with community organizations provide our students with unique experiential learning opportunities. The first AULA campus catalog proclaimed, “We offer a student the opportunity to structure learning experiences out of the abundant resources available within the college walls and in the community outside the college; to accredit that learning as well as recognize the validity of past learning experiences that took place outside the academic structure and which are relevant to degree goals; and to integrate these past and present learnings into a coherent degree program.” The AULA of today offers a unique, unconventional graduate and undergraduate education that is centered on the values of social justice, community engagement and life-long learning. In addition to classroom learning, students supplement their education experience with a variety of experiential learning options, including internships, independent study, prior learning and off-site seminars. Antioch University Los Angeles Purpose Statement Antioch University Los Angeles provides rigorous progressive education to prepare students for the complexities of today's diverse societies. Combining dynamic scholarship and creative endeavor with experiential learning and reflective practice, AULA fosters personal and collective agency, global citizenship, and socially conscious leadership.

Educational Objectives An Antioch University Los Angeles student will be able to: • Engage in creative critical thinking, and problem solving. • Integrate theory and practice. • Exhibit an awareness of self and others. • Demonstrate competencies core to one’s field of study. • Use knowledge and skills as an effective participant in civic and professional life. • Recognize oneself as a global citizen with a responsibility to effect social change. Antioch University Los Angeles 9 Educational Community Antioch University Los Angeles is a community of learners consisting of students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Among the distinctive features of our learning environment are: • A personalized education that integrates academic excellence, experiential learning, and a commitment to social justice and community service. This tripartite model is the cornerstone of all AULA educational programs. Individualized advising and intense collaboration between students and faculty are at the core of AULA’s approach to student learning. • An integration of theory and practice. Graduate and undergraduate students alike earn some of their academic credit through experiential learning, such as field study, internships, and clinical traineeships. Many of AULA’s graduate faculty are themselves practitioners and professionals in their fields, who incorporate their practical experience into the classroom. • An emphasis on encouraging students to recognize and integrate diversity in intercultural, intergroup, intergenerational, and interpersonal dynamics. AULA students question and probe their own views and those held by others, being simultaneously responsible for respecting each and every individual in the community. Discussion and self-reflection are ways of furthering learning and understanding in the AULA community. • A supportive environment that encourages collaborative learning, values social awareness and activism, and respects the multiple roles of adult students. • The development of communication and critical thinking skills to support effective and independent thought and action and a curriculum designed to prepare students to find meaningful work, improve professional opportunities, and lead more purposeful lives. • Student-friendly schedules and procedures designed for adult learners. • The use of narrative evaluations rather than standard grades. • For undergraduate students, an option to provide documentation of prior college-level learning through the Prior Learning Program (described in the BA section of this catalog). At Antioch University Los Angeles, learning means much more than sitting in classes and listening to lectures. Learning means reflection, dialogue and challenge. While the instructor is the expert in a given area of study, teaching and learning is an interactive process in which the student and teacher together develop attributes of liberally educated individuals and competent, socially concerned, skilled professionals.
