Fall 2026 Applications Still Open at Antioch
Scholarships available.
You’re still figuring out your fall plans. That’s okay. Antioch is still accepting applications through our rolling admissions process.
Maybe your first choice didn’t work out, or you decided last-minute that college is the right move. Perhaps you’re rethinking everything. Whatever brought you here, we’re ready to talk.
Here’s what makes Antioch different:
Co-op built in. You’ll spend up to a third of your college experience in full-time, career-related work—building your resume, earning money, and figuring out what you actually want to do with your life . Students have co-oped everywhere from the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences to nonprofits in India to conservation corps in the Rockies . You graduate with a degree and a portfolio of real-world experience.
Actually affordable. The average student pays about $12,000 a year out of pocket. The average grant and scholarship package is over $36,000 . We tailor financial aid to your situation—not a one-size-fits-all formula . And with an average debt at graduation around $14,000, you won’t be paying off college for the rest of your life .
Learn your way. You design your own major across five academic pathways: Interdisciplinary Art and Creative Practice, Sustainability and the Environment, Culture Power and Change, Social Enterprise and Social Innovation, and Global Studies and Engagement . Small classes. Faculty mentors. A curriculum built around what you want to study, not what a catalog says you have to.
No application fee. Quick decision. Apply for free . We’ll prioritize your application and get back to you fast—because you don’t have time to wait.

What to know about Antioch College.
Campus & Community
Our campus is a place of abundance and action.
Set on 100 acres in Yellow Springs, Ohio, Antioch College combines a tight-knit learning community with a uniquely creative small-town setting. The campus itself is a working laboratory—a sustainable farm, a holistic wellness center, a community-engaged art gallery, and a historic performing arts theater are all part of daily student life.
The Antioch Farm serves as an outdoor classroom, where students grow food that ends up in the campus dining hall. The Coretta Scott King Center advances social justice through learning, dialogue, and action. The Wellness Center is a 44,000-square-foot LEED-certified space for fitness and health. And the Foundry Theater and Herndon Art Gallery bring the arts to life, connecting campus with the wider community.
And then there’s Yellow Springs.
The village of Yellow Springs is the kind of place you have to experience to understand. Artsy, quirky, and genuinely welcoming, it’s packed with independent shops, art galleries, organic food markets, and a community that takes pride in being different. It’s the kind of town where faculty, students, and locals cross paths at the same coffee shop, and where creativity and social responsibility aren’t just ideas—they’re everyday life.
Founded in 1850, Antioch College and Yellow Springs have grown up together, shaped by a shared commitment to progressive values, sustainability, and community. This isn’t a college town where students live in a bubble. It’s a place where your education is woven into the fabric of a real, vibrant community.
