What makes Antioch University Los Angeles distinctive?

Antioch emphasizes three primary aspects of an educational experience:

• Academic excellence
• Experiential learning
• Commitment to social justice, responsibility, and action

In the undergraduate B.A. program, students aim for high levels of achievement by engaging in rigorous academic study.  The curriculum and classroom culture support students as independent thinkers, effective communicators, and problem-solvers who consistently practice critical and ethical reasoning.

At Antioch University Los Angeles, we appreciate the variety of learning styles and interests students bring to their studies.  These differences are resources that enrich our classrooms and our community. Antioch students learn in small interactive classrooms, through independent studies, as interns in community organizations, and by crafting field-based projects that tie classroom learning closely to practical action and lived experience.  Antioch fosters awareness and advocacy of social justice issues and encourages students to contribute to the greater good of the community.

What makes Antioch University Los Angeles distinctive is also our individualized learning environment in which students are empowered to shape their educational path with the support of outstanding faculty mentors.  Here the values of academic excellence, experiential learning, and social justice combine with a creative and individualized delivery model to offer an optimal learning experience.
