Antioch University

Located in Yellow Springs, Ohio, approximately 20 miles east of Dayton, Antioch College operates as a private liberal arts institution on a rural 1,100-acre campus known for its distinctive mid-century modern architecture and emphasis on environmental sustainability. Founded in 1850 by the Christian Connection religious movement, the college pioneered its cooperative education program in 1921, requiring students to alternate between periods of classroom study and full-time work experiences. The institution maintains a selective admissions process and is recognized for its progressive approach to education, particularly in environmental studies, social justice, media arts, and the sciences. Antioch operates as a residential college where students are required to live on campus for their first three years, participating in self-governing communities that reflect the institution's commitment to democratic decision-making and social responsibility.
