Antioch University Online Reviews

"I absolutely love this school. They have been very available, and I never felt like I was being "sold" anything...No harassing calls or chasing me. They have amazing teachers, and online learning was great because I got the benefits of learning online while still feeling connected to the teacher and other class members."

"I was first of all an older learner out of university for over 20 years who would not have found ready acceptance in many graduate schools.I am an eager lifelong learner and I applied myself to assignments, and class participation. My professors were almost uniformly, dedicated and highly experienced therapists and leaders in clinical service agencies. Scheduling of classes was great for those who had other even full time employment, or as in my case caregiving duties for an aging parent. I was richly rewarded for my strong participation with a truly great preparation for work I love doing, in my senior years. I feel there is no limit on what I can do and where I can go from Antioch.( Have been accepted now into a great doctoral program and cannot begin to say how inspired I am by this work). Highly recommend this Masters program at Santa Barbara CA but have heard Antioch SEATTLE and LA are both as good. Really turns out therapists who are able to work well with clients from the start or to continue further education in this field, there are many who go on to great success."

"Due to my instructors lack of communication and teaching skills I am no longer going to be going to Antioch. This instructor for MGT 3900: Human Resource Management has lied to me and been mis-leading at the same time I tried to get Director of Undergraduate Studies, Antioch University Online to look into the issues, and he was no help. He started yelling at me and comparing his son to me (like he knows me) and did not want to hear my side of what was going on. It was a very short conversation. Who was rude disrespectful and frankly not professional at all! He had no interest anything I had to say. I tried to point out the issues and he started to yell at me stating that I am a disrespectful person who does not deserve being a veteran. I cannot tell you how mad that makes me. Someone can put me down all day long, but when that person starts stabbing at being a veteran there is going to be trouble. I cannot continue attended a school that has no respect. This college is only out to get your money! This is what started the whole issue. I asked for clarification as to what was requirement for a scholarly source and she blasted me back with websites and non-scholarly sources are not allowed and I never received an answer and nowhere in the syllabus does it say no web sites. Now regardless of what I do my work is not up to par for her standards. She has danced all around the questions and been anything but clear. I still have no grades for several weeks worth of work because she waits several weeks before they graded so there is zero feedback."

"I attended AUC these past two years to complete a bachelor degree I'd begun at a local junior college years ago. AUC admissions made on-boarding effortless by keeping me on track with the expected paperwork. I was surprised when they asked me for a Statement of Purpose, but glad they did as it revealed a rigor to their admissions process that I wanted. Financial Aid was easy to work with and considerate, though I think they could do more to help lower-income students, especially after the first year. Still, the program was reasonable, the professors all expert, knowledgeable and helpful. Many suggested I apply to grad school knowing that AUC doesn't offer graduate degrees in writing. If you do enough research on Antioch University, you'll inevitably uncover the controversial split with Antioch College. At first, I thought this was another case of the wholesale purchase of a reputation for exploitation--but AUC lives and breathes the words of founder, Horace Mann, "Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity" by first instilling them upon their student body and then by aspiring to do so themselves. More reasonably priced than many state universities, they don't up the cost for out-of-state students in their online programs (a practice that makes no sense to me whatsoever). I was thrilled to find Antioch University because they offered the things I really wanted most: private, not-for-profit university with a brick and mortar campus (five, actually), and a liberal arts degree focused on the study of writing. I was accepted to grad school on the basis of my work and recommendations from Antioch faculty. That alone should be enough to convince you of the quality of the degree."
