Overview
Antioch University was founded in 1852 in Yellow Springs, Ohio as a private, liberal arts college. Horace Mann, known as the founder of the American public school system and the first president of Antioch, pioneered the introduction of coeducation, non-sectarianism, and non-segregation in order to educate “minds free from prejudice and yearning after truth.”
With locations in Keene, New Hampshire; Yellow Springs, Ohio; Seattle, Washington and Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, California, Antioch University stands stronger than ever. As a private, nonprofit, comprehensive institution, Antioch University is a singly accredited, highly integrated University. Antioch offers face-to-face, hybrid and fully online coursework, and bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree programs in the following academic areas: Counseling, Therapy & Wellness; Creative Writing & Communication Studies; Education; Environmental Studies and Sustainability; Interdisciplinary Studies; Leadership, Management, and Business; Psychology, and Undergraduate Studies.

Our Core Attributes
An Antioch University education inspires our students to engage in a transformative educational experience, collaborate with others, and harness their talents to win victories for humanity. With this vision in mind, faculty have identified three core curricular attributes that embody an Antiochian education:
Self
Antioch University students attain the knowledge and critical skills of their disciplines to develop themselves personally and professionally. Students actively reflect upon those acquired knowledge and skills, as well as their own and others’ values, biases, and behaviors.
Community
Antioch University students develop social and cultural responsiveness through participation in academic, civic, and professional communities. Students recognize the diverse perspectives and relational dynamics necessary to be effective community members.
Action
Antioch University students apply the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind acquired through their studies. By anchoring their professional goals in social responsibility, students take actions that advance justice and lead to positive change.
Statement of Commitment, Inclusion & Diversity
In radical recognition of our mission and purpose, we pledge to actively engage in ongoing development as a wholly inclusive community. To this end we will consistently, deliberately and systematically strive to be appropriately responsive to the myriad dimensions of human diversity, such that none are marginalized and all experience justice and empowerment. Moving beyond tolerance toward inclusion and the celebration of our differences, we will courageously embrace any resulting challenges as they arise, recognizing that the responsibility for this rests with each and every member of the community. We assert that we will move expeditiously toward our goals through an ongoing commitment to courageous self-examination and respectful and honest interactions, which will lead us to the creation of formal and informal structures, policies, programs, and services that will give life to these ideals on our campuses and as we touch the world around us.
