Antioch College Mission Statement:
Antioch College is a distinctive national liberal arts college which has recruited students from throughout the country since the 1920s and has played a major role in the development of cooperative education, community governance, and international education. The primary mission of Antioch College is to empower students: the academic curriculum provides students with a broad liberal education that challenges their values and perspectives as well as increases their knowledge, ability to question, and general intellectual consciousness about themselves and the society in which they live; the cooperative education program provides life and work experiences which develop independence, confidence, and self-motivation; and community structure offers significant responsibility for the social, cultural, financial, and policy issues that govern college life. Students are expected to reach beyond conventional learning. With classroom and co-op faculty, and within the context of the curriculum, they plan their own education, reflect upon their experiences, and as a result, change their perspectives. The goal is for Antioch students to become intelligent experimenters, informed risk-takers, creative thinkers, and courageous practitioners. Antioch College encourages its students to have a balanced respect for all of life—self, others, society, and the earth. Empowered by their education, students are encouraged to empower others.
