AU Seattle
Welcome to Antioch University Seattle!
Since its founding in 1975, Antioch University Seattle has been an institution of choice in the Pacific Northwest for adult students who want higher education to reflect their interests and commitments. Our academic programs prepare learners for meaningful engagement with professions that reflect Antioch’s social justice mission by integrating the elements of that mission into their curriculum. Our programs in Psychology, Counseling and Therapy focus attention on social equity in order to graduate professionals who can understand multiple perspectives and support clients whose struggles are compounded by inequities. Our education programs engage future teachers and educators in developing skills and perspectives that improve lives throughout the region. And our Bachelor’s degree completion program provides a unique opportunity to students who have struggled to finish in more traditional settings through an engagement with the liberal arts and advanced undergraduate work in a discipline that might lead to a profession. At Antioch University Seattle, we are committed to an inclusive, caring environment in which student learning and growth is the priority of every member of our community.
The Antioch University Seattle campus is located in a modern building in the heart of the Belltown neighborhood, near Seattle’s downtown core and just a few short blocks from Seattle Center and the Space Needle. The campus houses classrooms, a library, computer access, art studio, dining hub, and study spaces. The campus is designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of physical ability. AUS also hosts a number of low-residency and hybrid programs that offer maximum flexibility for working students or students outside of the Seattle area.

Undergraduate Degree Programs
Degree Credits
As this is a degree completion program, a minimum of 36 quarter credits in transfer is required. The degree requires a total of 180-quarter credits; a maximum of 120 lower division credits, plus a minimum of 60 upper division credits. A minimum of 45 residency credits must be earned at Antioch. Degree requirements can be met with a combination of transfer credits, prior learning credits (documented learning from life experience, maximum of 45 quarter credits) and current Antioch University credits.
Translating Prior Learning into College Credit
All Antioch Seattle Undergraduate programs honor the achievements and knowledge that adult learners have gained in the real world. Therefore, students have an option to earn academic credit for college-level knowledge and skills acquired outside the classroom prior to enrollment. For example, adults who have studied art, learned management skills working in an office or investigated theories of child development while raising their own children can receive college credit for the knowledge gained from these activities. Students can earn up to 45 credits for Prior Learning within the BA in Liberal Studies Program.
To gain credit for learning from work and life experience, students prepare documentation (including competency statements and narratives spelling out the learning) and then demonstrate this learning to qualified evaluators, who may be Antioch faculty or outside professionals who serve, for this purpose, as consultants. Receiving credit for prior learning happens through a carefully structured process that helps students to identify and organize the knowledge and skills they have gained through experience and connect that experience to more theoretical knowledge. Credit is granted for the college-level learning that has resulted from that experience. To obtain these credits, students first complete a zero credit/no cost workshop, Documenting Life Learning, to figure out what areas they could earn college credit in. Then students register for a course titled Writing Prior Learning that helps them document their prior learning, preparing them for the expert evaluator review and assessment.

School of Applied Psychology, Counseling and Family Therapy Programs
The School of Applied Psychology, Counseling and Family Therapy (SAPCFT) provides education and training in the theory and application of psychological principles to current and future license-eligible clinical professionals. The School also provides rich curricula of study in the field of psychology for those who are interested in the subject but do not intend to become licensed professionals.
Steeped in Antioch’s long tradition of recognizing the diversity of individual backgrounds, the curriculum promotes values of ethical practice, social responsibility and cultural pluralism. Additionally, specializations and classes promote self-exploration, empowerment and whole-person learning. Informed by this tradition and viewpoint, the School of Applied Psychology, Counseling and Family Therapy balances traditional and contemporary perspectives in the field to develop graduates who are informed, effective practitioners and change agents. Ultimately, the professional licensure specializations develop practitioners who become part of an Antioch community of mental health professionals dedicated to helping their clients adapt to the challenges created by life in a rapidly changing and complicated world.
A Commitment to Diversity
Antioch University Seattle’s School of Applied Psychology, Counseling and Family Therapy programs reflect the University commitment to diversity in at least three distinct areas:
Curriculum: Skill-based classes and field experience address emerging issues and trends and promote values of ethical practice, social responsibility and cultural pluralism. The courses deliver the critical skills and knowledge necessary to prepare students to meet professional challenges and serve a diversity of people.
Faculty: Core and teaching faculty bring broad professional experience and diverse backgrounds in education to Antioch Seattle. In addition to their teaching and advising responsibilities, they are active in their professional communities and/or in clinical practices.
Students: Masters and doctoral level graduate students at Antioch vary in age, background and professional experience as well as ethnicity. Many have worked in psychology-related fields, such as substance abuse or crisis hotline work. Some are homemakers preparing to re-enter the workforce. Others are leaving professions such as banking, law or education to prepare for a different career. A few enter immediately after receiving their undergraduate degrees.
Required Corequisite in Writing
Writing is an integral part of academic studies in the SAPCFT. All MA students are required to register for Writing in Psychology (WRTG-6110) their entry quarter, unless assessment scores indicate an exemption. Writing assessments are conducted formally through the Center for Teaching and Learning: the Writing Lab coordinates synchronous online assessment sessions that last approximately one hour each. The writing assessment constitutes an important required step in the MA candidate’s application process. This exercise is designed to assess the writing proficiency of and supports required for candidates entering a rigorous, academic program that relies greatly on successful written discourse.
WRTG-6110 Writing in Psychology offers graduate students in the SAPCFT a comprehensive experience in writing from and about research for the psychological discourse community. The class emphasizes critical reading & thinking, the development of technical & library skills as well as the integration of primary and secondary sources in graduate level writing. Students gain experience in composing in multiple genres requiring formal research.

Career Choices for Counseling Graduates
Many professional options are open to graduates of the Counseling Programs (MA CMHC or PhD in CES). Depending on the specialization, graduates can seek professional positions in organizations such as community agencies, health care settings, hospitals, mental health clinics, private practices, colleges and universities, consulting and research. Due to shared CACREP accreditation, the 90 MA CMHC credits may (at the discretion of any given university/program) fully transfer into CACREP accredited or aligned doctoral programs in Counselor Education and Supervision (CES). Those who choose to continue their education find the CACREP accredited Antioch CMHC degree provides a solid foundation for entering a doctoral program in Counselor Education and Supervision, or obtaining post-master’s credentials in an area of professional interest, such as substance-abuse counseling or other clinical specialties.
Graduates of the PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision program will have expanded opportunities in counselor education, leadership, and supervision practices.

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology
The PsyD program at Antioch University Seattle prepares students for competent entry as a generalist into the practice of health service psychology through doctoral education and training. The PsyD program aims to educate students as health service psychologists and as scholars in psychology in order to promote health, education, social justice, and human welfare. Our curricula shall advance students in the broadest and most liberal manner, including conducting research in psychology. We seek to promote the highest standards of ethics, conduct, education, and achievement in a manner that balances traditional and contemporary perspectives in order for students to become responsible change agents in our complex world.
APA Accreditation
Antioch University Seattle’s (AUS) PsyD program was conferred a period of five years of accreditation by the American Psychological Association (APA) on Friday, November 17, 2017. The APA is the premiere psychology organization in the United States, overseeing standards, practices, and research in both psychology and psychiatry to “benefit society and improve people’s lives.” The organization is affiliated with over 60 national and international associations and has been influential on decisions ranging from marriage equality to conduct in war.

The curriculum promotes values of ethical practice, social responsibility and cultural pluralism.
AUS’s PsyD program implements a competency-based assessment process whereby students are asked to apply knowledge to practice, demonstrating that they can use the disciplinary content they learn. Competencies are woven into all classes, supervisor evaluations, and other measures of student performance. Faculty members balance traditional and contemporary perspectives in the field of psychology, educating students to become informed and effective practitioners, and agents of change in a complex world.

In addition, the Discipline-Specific Knowledge domains in curricular design and implementation. Students who enter the program with a mental health-related master’s may take a one-credit elective course, PSYC7980 Practicum: Prior Learning, to determine whether some levels of competency can be demonstrated on entry to the program.
Clinical Training Sequence
The sequence of clinical training starts with the series of first year foundational PSYC-7010-7030 courses, during which all students will begin a Social Justice Service Project: an approved placement in an agency, institution, or other setting that challenges students through exposure to people from backgrounds significantly different from their own. The total Social Justice Service Project requirement is 50 hours completed over Fall-Winter-Spring quarters in the first year.
Social Justice Practicum
The total Social Justice Practicum requirement is 300 hours, 100 of which must be under supervision, and meets the Washington state requirements for practicum experience toward licensure (WAC 246-924-046). Washington State describes a practicum as applied experience obtained while training for the doctoral degree and must occur over at least nine months. All students will initially be placed in the AUS Community Counseling and Psychology clinic and will be required to see 2-5 clients per week under supervision. Upon completion of the 300-hour Social Justice Practicum, students will be ready to begin their Pre-internship-I placement. Pre-internship-I hours can be earned by continued work at the AUS clinic or through a community placement.
Pre-Internship II (Third Year)
During Year 3, students will obtain an additional Pre-internship II placement (450 hours). Several Clinical Milestones are scheduled to occur toward the end of Year 3. These include: the Clinical Competency Examination; the optional awarding of the non-terminal MA degree in Psychology; the acceptance of the Dissertation Proposal and, following these, obtaining Internship Eligibility status. Students often use the 4th year to make progress on their dissertation, complete any additional required courses and, ideally, complete the dissertation prior to the beginning of the Clinical Internship.
Clinical Internship
The Clinical Internship is an organized 2000-hour full-time (or 20 hour/week part- time over two years) clinical internship training experience. All students must complete at least 2000 hours of clinical internship in order to graduate. Students apply to clinical internship by using the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) Internship Match Program. Local and national sites are available for application.
Student Admissions, Outcomes, and Other Data Time to Completion
