Psychology

At the heart of all Antioch University Psychology programs is a personal and professional commitment to social justice for individuals, couples, families, and groups. We emphasize the role of psychology in empowering people of all backgrounds, cultures, economic standing, sexual orientations and identities to achieve their full potential.

Rigorous programs intertwine theory with practice, valuing both academic excellence and hands-on clinical experience. At Antioch University students develop the clinical skills that help their clients, while applying an emerging, unique professional style. Antioch University is known for producing many of the best mental health professionals in the country.

Students can pursue either clinical or non-clinical degrees with a variety of concentrations, including some individualized options (non-clinical). Select from undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral degree offerings, as well as graduate certificates, and continuing education programs.
