Antioch University is a private university with multiple campuses in the United States and online programs. It is the continuation of Antioch College, which was founded in 1852. Antioch College's first president was politician, abolitionist, and education reformer Horace Mann. In 1977, the college network was re-incorporated as Antioch University to reflect its growth across the country into numerous graduate education programs. It operates five campuses located in four states, as well as an online division and the Graduate School of Leadership and Change. All campuses of the university are regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.
The university's five campuses are located in Yellow Springs, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, California, Keene, New Hampshire, and Seattle. Antioch University suspended operations of Antioch College in 2008 and later sold the campus and a license to use the name "Antioch College" in 2009. Since then, the college has had no affiliation with the university.[2]
Antioch University Midwest, was also located in Yellow Springs, and remains part of the university, but it closed in 2020. However, university administration, Antioch University Online, and Antioch University’s Graduate School of Leadership & Change remained headquartered at the Yellow Springs location.[3]
