Antioch University offers bachelor's completion, master's, and doctoral programs across eight focus areas: Counseling & Therapy, Creative Writing, Education, Environmental Studies & Sustainability, Individualized Studies, Leadership & Management, Nursing & Health Professions, and Psychology. Programs are delivered through on-campus, online, and low-residency formats. The university emphasizes experiential learning integrated into all curricula, a practice pioneered by President Arthur Morgan in the 1920s. All campuses are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, with specialized accreditation for psychology, counseling, and education programs through bodies including the APA and CACREP.

The university also maintains administrative headquarters and low-residency programs in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Most students are post-baccalaureate, with significant part-time enrollment. The university serves a diverse, geographically dispersed student body united by a shared mission to advance social, racial, economic, and environmental justice.
Antioch University accepts applications through an online portal and offers rolling admissions. The university welcomes transfer and degree completion students, international students, DREAMERS, and veterans. Specialized pathways include the MS in Athletic Training (via ATCAS) and readmission for returning students. Admissions counselors are available to guide prospective students through the application process. The university does not discriminate based on race, color, gender, ancestry, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, family status, or disability.
Founded by Horace Mann in 1852, Antioch University remains committed to nonsectarian, co-educational education for social progress. The institution provides learner-centered education to empower students with knowledge and skills to lead meaningful lives and advance justice. The university is a co-founding member of the Coalition for the Common Good and emphasizes removing traditional barriers to learning, meeting students where they are, and measuring success through personal growth and community impact.
