Antioch University recognizes the validity of learning not only in the traditional academic setting but also in non-classroom activities such as internships and independent studies, even including “prior learning” acquired through work, volunteer, or personal experience before matriculation at Antioch.

Catering to returning adult students, Antioch University has led the way in recognizing learning gained prior to university re-entry as potentially valid and creditable college-level learning. A typical student’s program includes a rich mixture of the following formats:

• In-class learning (classes, workshops, and seminars)
• Internships
• Prior learning

Experiential learning activities play an equally important role in the Antioch experience as we believe it offers our students the opportunity to apply theory to real world community settings and see tangible results.
