Self-Designed Major: Interdisciplinary Focuses

At Antioch, all students create a self-designed major to pursue intellectual, social, and career interests while meeting all graduation requirements. 

Antiochians are known for their independence of mind and for pursuing topics that cross boundaries. They adopt multi-disciplinary approaches to real-world problems, from global climate change and racial justice to income inequality and prison reform. This equips them to understand complex ideas and apply their critical thinking, writing, and cross-cultural engagement skills as industries evolve and the world changes. We are proud that graduates are prepared for questions that haven’t yet been asked and careers that haven’t yet been invented.

Particular interdisciplinary strengths at Antioch include:

• Culture, Power, and Change
• Interdisciplinary Arts and Creative Practice
• Global Studies and Engagement
• Social Enterprise and Social Innovation
• Sustainability and the Environment
