Antioch’s B.A. program provides a flexible way for adult learners to complete an undergraduate degree without disrupting their personal and professional lives. Compared to other schools, the B.A. Program keeps requirements to the minimum to give students maximum flexibility in shaping their course of study to their individual needs with the support and guidance of a faculty mentor to help steer the course.
 
The requirements of the undergraduate program are as follows:

• 30+ transfer units from an accredited institution required to enter
• A minimum of 180 quarter units required to graduate.  Of those units:
  • At least 90 must be upper division
  • At least six must be earned in each domain: Humanities, Fine Arts, Communications, Quantitative Thought, Science, and Social Science
  • At least 40 units earned in the student’s declared Area of Concentration (Liberal Studies, Business and Social Entrepreneurship, Child Studies, Creative Writing, Psychology, Urban Community and Environment)
  • At least six must qualify as non-classroom learning
• Students must complete a minimum of 48 units during residency at Antioch; students entering with advanced standing may petition for reduced residency
• First-quarter students must complete the Educational Foundations course
• First-quarter students take math and writing assessments to determine their placement in writing courses and math skill development

Note:  Potential applicants can arrange to have transfer units reviewed by an admissions counselor to gauge which units from previous institutions would apply to an Antioch degree.  A full degree plan will be developed with a faculty mentor during the student’s initial quarter in the B.A. program.
