Antioch College is located on a small, residential campus in Yellow Springs, a progressive town in Southwest Ohio. Our campus includes the 1,000-acre Glen Helen Nature Preserve and is a short drive from Columbus and Cincinnati. Our students arrive here from throughout the country; though they have varied academic backgrounds, interests and viewpoints, they are all committed to the idea that their education should prepare them for real engagement in the world, whether they become artists, attorneys, policymakers, educators, health professionals or entrepreneurs.
When you become an Antioch College student, you don't just attend a college that has been around since 1850. You participate in a movement rooted in a tradition of breaking boundaries to face the challenges of now.
We are grounded in experiential learning. This is a laboratory college where you learn by doing. From problem-based projects to maker-spaces, cultural immersion to worked-based co-op education, you will have the freedom to experiment, try, fail and grow.
We are committed to community. This is a collaborative college, a place where we practice democracy as a part of everyday life. As an Antiochian, you will participate in the design and governance of the college. You don’t just follow the rules here. You help make them.
We are connected to the world. A central component of Antioch’s education model has been its flagship Cooperative Education (Co-op) Program. Students spend a quarter of their education in full-time, compensated positions either locally, nationally, or internationally.
Students who choose to attend Antioch College crave transformative, real-world experiences. They have an interest in collaboration and community. They want the freedom and flexibility to design an education that prepares them for active professional, political, and social engagement. They want to "win victories for humanity."
