Welcome to the B.A. in Liberal Studies Program, a pioneering degree completion option for students looking for the individualized attention of outstanding faculty mentors and small interactive classes that cultivate rigorous dialogue and critical thinking.

Antioch University offers multiple learning formats. Our students may develop independent studies with the support of a mentor, and they may obtain academic credit for prior learning. These are just a few of the unique benefits of the Antioch University B.A. that promotes the values of academic excellence, experiential learning, and social justice. I invite you to check out the page on Program Values to find out more about how these values permeate our entire learning community.

I urge you also to visit the Program Concentrations section. We offer academic concentrations to help prepare students for specialized careers or graduate study in psychology, child studies, creative writing, business and social entrepreneurship, or – our newest addition – urban community and environment or UCE for short. The UCE concentration prepares students for careers in community organizing, non-profits, public advocacy, or city government through an exciting and dynamic curriculum that uses Los Angeles as a learning laboratory. We also offer fast tracks into Antioch University’s graduate management and teacher credentialing programs. Please visit the fast track section to find out more.

I hope that you will enjoy your online visit to our site. I invite you to contact me with any questions you might have. If you would like to sit in on a class to get to know us better, our Admissions Office would be happy to arrange it.
