Our faculty are committed to support your learning experience. Most are currently in the classroom and utilize their elementary teaching experience to enrich the experience of the course. They pass on their first-hand knowledge and experience, providing an invaluable learning tool for our students.

Antioch does not assign grades. Classes are assessed with a CR or NC through the use of narrative evaluations. Narrative evaluations have been part of the university for decades - this does away with competition for grades among students. A student who meets the class objectives will earn a CR.

Yes, it is possible to work during the MAEx program - in fact, most of our students do. The program is considered half-time enrollment and classes are offered one night a week from 4-10 pm and on Saturdays for 3 hours. This gives ample opportunity to hold a full-time position.

A Master's degree helps open doors for new opportunities. The curriculum for this program gives you a systems thinking perspective on educational organizations. The courses we offer will delve into both the theory and practice of organizing, leadership in schools, identifying areas for change and financing, and supporting those changes.

Our graduate student population has come from diverse backgrounds and have found employment in various fields that include community organizer, child advocate, a teacher wanting change in their classroom, school, or district, educational researcher, and faculty member at an Institute of Higher Education.

AULA offers an uncommon education---a unique, rich learning experience that will enhance your development as an educator. Students move through the program with the same fellow students, called a cohort, and form relationships that last beyond the last class.

Our class size remains small - approximately 10-20 students in a class. This creates a stronger dynamic and allows for more personal attention. Student participation is not only asked for, but encouraged, creating a fuller learning experience. Also, due to small class size, we do not find the need to close classes or put anyone on a wait list.

Students can also expect personal attention from Antioch faculty and staff.
