The unique and diverse student body at Antioch University is our most valuable resource. Our students and alumni, who come from across the country and around the world, have published books with major presses, won numerous literary awards, started thriving literary magazines and e-zines, and founded independent presses.

The values of Antioch University, a university dedicated to mindful engagement with the world, are reflected in Field Study experiences that stretch the student as a writer and as a person. Antioch students are helping to shape the literary environment in unique and innovative ways.
