B.A. in Liberal Studies

The B.A. in Liberal Studies Program, is 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. 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.

The program offers 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.

For any and all questions contact our chair, Kristin Grimstad Ph.D. kgrimstad [at] antiochla [dot] edu or contact our Admissions Office to arrange to sit in on one of our classes.
