In keeping with Antioch University’s progressive and socially-conscious values, students of the arts, humanities, and liberal studies are provided an innovative, student-centered approach to education. Students acquire key intellectual tools designed to increase personal awareness, foster individual and social creativity, and encourage professional development and socially responsible thought and action.

Students in the arts, humanities and liberal studies, focus not only on the craft or text but also on the ethical import of language and story and the socio-political context within which work itself is produced. Graduates commonly cite personal and professional growth in areas such as enhanced curiosity and compassion, openness and flexibility, imagination and self-confidence, writing and speaking skills. They experience increased ability to work constructively with diverse perspectives, to appreciate a wider variety of artistic expression, and to devise new and better ways of engaging the world.
