Antioch University- Los Angeles
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaAntioch University is a six-campus American university with campuses in four states. An outgrowth of Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, each of Antioch's campuses has its own distinct academic programs, community life, and regional identity. It is founded on principles of rigorous liberal arts education, innovative experiential learning and socially engaged citizenship. See "Campuses" below.
Background
Antioch College is the result of American educator Horace Mann's dream to establish a college comparable to Harvard but with some notable differences. This college was to be completely non-sectarian and co-educational, and with a curriculum that would not only include the traditional treatment of the classics, but would emphasize science and the scientific method, history and modern literature. Students would not compete for grades, but would be encouraged to pursue issues of interest to them, read what they consider worthwhile, and present papers on topics of their own choosing. Founded in 1852 as Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, Horace Mann became the first president in 1853.
From its inception, racial and sexual equality, independent study and independent thinking were integral parts of Antioch College. Six students were accepted for the first quarter: four men and two women who came to share the same college classrooms for the first time in the U.S. The notion of sexual equality extended also to the faculty. Antioch was the first U.S. college to designate a woman as full professor, and the original faculty included seven men and two women. Then, in 1863, the college instituted the policy that no applicant was to be rejected on the basis of race.
Antioch College has always attracted faculty who were concerned with innovations in education. In the early 1850s, Rebecca Pennell offered a course on teaching methods which was the first of its kind, while John Burns Weston, class of 1857, established a long-standing precedent by being both student and faculty simultaneously. He taught Greek language and literature for 20 years and remained a lifelong student.

Question: Does anyone know if Antioch University in Los Angeles is a decent school to get my Master's in Psychology?I'm struggling to decide whether it's worth the $42,000 it would take to go to this school. I really want a quality education and I want to dive into it and start my career as a therapist as soon as I can. I know later I'll probably want to continue school to get another degree, so I have no illusions about the fact that I'm going to be in a lo-o-o-tta debt for a long time no matter what I do. It's the quality factor that's weighing on my mind. I've been searching the internet and I can't find very much information about it other than the info put out by the school itself. Some advice would be very helpful. I guess a second question would be what's the best way to decide where to go for school?9 months ago
