EnglishWhat Degree Programs and Focus Areas Does Antioch University Offer?
Updated
Antioch University offers bachelor's completion, master's, and doctoral programs, plus certificates and endorsements. Programs are organized around eight focus areas and can be taken online, on campus, or in low-residency formats.
Program Levels
The university's program catalog covers four main credential levels:
- Bachelor's completion — for students who want to finish an undergraduate degree
- Master's programs
- Doctoral programs
- Certificates and endorsements
The site also lists a Continuing Education category alongside its degree offerings.
Eight Focus Areas
Antioch organizes its programs by focus area, so you can browse by subject rather than by degree level alone. The eight areas listed are:
| Focus Area | Notes |
|---|---|
| Counseling & Therapy | Also appears as "Counseling, Psychology, & Therapy" in the bachelor's completion list |
| Creative Writing | Listed at both the general and bachelor's completion level |
| Education | Listed at both levels |
| Environmental Studies & Sustainability | Listed at both levels |
| Individualized Studies | Listed at both levels |
| Leadership & Management | Listed at both levels |
| Nursing and Health Professions | Appears as "Nursing & Health Professions" in the bachelor's completion list |
| Psychology | Listed as a standalone focus area |
Note that the bachelor's completion track groups some areas slightly differently — for example, combining counseling, psychology, and therapy — so the exact labels can vary depending on which level you're browsing.
Learning Formats
Antioch describes its programs as available in three formats:
- Online
- On campus
- Low-residency
The university says it spans coast to coast, with six campuses: Los Angeles, Midwest, New England, Online, Santa Barbara, and Seattle. According to the site, whether students are in person or online, they join "an interconnected network of changemakers."
How to Find a Specific Program
The site provides two browsing paths:
- Search Programs — a search tool for finding a specific degree or program
- Browse by Focus Area — a way to explore offerings within one of the eight areas above
There is also a See All Programs link and a Browse All Programs option from the campuses section.
Background That May Matter to Your Decision
Antioch states it was founded in 1852 — over 170 years of history — and reports more than 70,000 alumni. It describes its mission as educating "to fuel positive change and a better world for everyone," and says it is a co-founding member of the Coalition for the Common Good, a network of institutions "educating for a more just society." If a social justice orientation in your program matters to you, that framing is consistent across the site's program descriptions.
Next Steps
To move from browsing to applying, the site offers three entry points: Request program info, Visit an Antioch campus, and Start your application. If you already know your focus area, browsing by that area first will narrow the list faster than searching by degree level alone.
