: Academics :

Antioch [College] is in a class by itself. There is no college or university in the country that makes a more profound difference in a young person’s life, or that creates more effective adults. None of the Ivies, big or small, can match Antioch’s ability to produce outstanding thinkers and doers.
— Loren Pope, Colleges That Change Lives

Antioch College develops young people who are able to bring broad knowledge to bear upon present problems, who are resourceful, who feel a part of the whole world and are at ease within it, and who have started and don’t intend to stop on the road toward deeper understanding and effectiveness.

Under Horace Mann, Antioch College was the educational pioneer of the mid-19th century. Under Arthur E. Morgan in the mid-20th century, it began a new adventure in developing the cooperative education program that integrated full-time periods of work into each student’s education.

Today, Antioch College is starting anew. And it believes that humanity, for all its thousands, is only beginning too. Antioch College is trying still to find better ways of educating young adults for leadership in a better world than we have known before.
