Antioch College holds a distinct place within higher education. This is an
opportunity to join a collaborative faculty community dedicated to 
building a
new kind of American college. Antioch College is a place where students seek
to “win victories for humanity” and engage in real-world problem solving
in the classroom, campus and community, and through our renowned cooperative
education program. Antioch attracts tenacious questioners who find virtue in
our being rigorous and open, creative and deliberative, diverse and
self-reliant; who appreciate the thoughtful scale of individual, small group
and community learning, and our commitment to principles of applied and
experiential education. Antioch is a laboratory for discovering the new and
better ways of living and learning that are the building blocks for
democratic communities and a healthy planet. Through participatory learning
and work-based education, students develop and put their ideas into 
practice.
Guided by talented teachers and mentors, students own their education 
through
a robust Self-Designed Major program that encourages students to explore the
transdisciplinary spaces within and between the humanities, sciences, arts,
and social sciences. Students also utilize Antioch’s dynamic resources like
our farm, and Coretta Scott King Center and adjacent 1,100-acre nature
preserve in their studies. The high level of participation in the design and
governance of the College, dialogue and collaboration across the campus to
develop community here and in the surrounding region is unmatched elsewhere.

Antioch College embraces diversity as a core value, and considers it
fundamental to excellence in education. We are an educational community
dedicated to the pursuit of social justice that intentionally and
consistently supports diverse and inclusive practices. Antioch College
acknowledges and seeks to end the existence of systemic inequity in terms of

challenging dialogues and exchanges. We believe diversity enhances learning
and our individual and collective ability to manifest positive change. We

development and innovation that fosters social justice, cultural 
competencies
and understanding of diversity.
