Antioch - MFA

[kelkat]

Antioch - does anyone know anything about them? I know that they offer a master of fine arts in creative writing and that's the extent of my knowledge. I would appreciate any help.

Is that located in Ohio? It is a small liberal arts school that is extremely well respected.

Hey, that sounds pretty cool. What sort of tuition rates do they have? I'm intruiged.

I saw Antioch mentioned at another board I frequent. The student hadn't been there long, but seemed to be pleased with the experience so far. I wish I could remember where I'd seen that.

I keep seeing them in my writer's magazines and I was thinking that maybe if I had a degree I could get a little more notice when I submit my work. Maybe not, who knows. But I want to get it from a school that will cause the editors of the magazine to jump up and take notice "ewww, she's special."

To the best of my knowledge Antioch College in Yellow Springs Ohio has officially closed its doors. It’s reputation not withstanding, this far left university has been riddled with controversy over the years from everything from it’s policy on consensual student intimacy (They have a mandatory verbal permission requirement for each step of the consensual ***ual act) to their choice of graduation day addressee (They once chose convicted cop killer death row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal to deliver his audiotaped graduation-day address) Like most small colleges the full time student tuition rates were high. The management there is hoping to possibly reopen the doors in 2010.

To the best of my knowledge Antioch College in Yellow Springs Ohio has officially closed its doors. Indeed, but Antioch University is alive and kicking. There are indicators it's constituent campuses may be autonomous entities. For instance, both the California campuses have their own independent WASC regional accreditation, rather than coverage under the mother ship's North Central accreditation. In any case, the following all appear to have a pulse.

Antioch University McGregor
Yellow Springs, OH

Antioch University New England
Keene, NH

Antioch University Los Angeles
Culver City, CA

Antioch University Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara, CA

Antioch University Seattle
Seattle, WA

I grew up near this bastion of lefty weirdness. They have a very low donation rate from alumni and a very small operation fund of about $36 million. Tiny for a college. I seriously doubt they'll open again as they are, probably one of the nearby uni's may buy and run the campus.

Of course they had a low donation rate from alums. How much could they make working for nonprofits and other lefty do gooder work? They wanted to avoid the rat race and get rid of capitalism. Instead capitalism got rid of their training ground.

Many other colleges are in the same boat also and I think this is due to increased competition from online colleges. People have many choices as to where they want to attend college, they no longer have to stay in their home state or go to the local university or community college.

This is a problem that some community colleges are facing in my state of NC. In fact one of the rural community college where I am an adjunct, will only hire adjuncts they have a freeze on full time faculty hiring.
I attended a meeting there last week and the focus was on how to increase enrollment and I basically told them that unless they do away with 16 week classes and add more online offerings, then they will continue to lose out.

Because most of the upcoming students know about online learning and many want their degrees fast and its just hard for any college to compete with a university thats offering 5 to 8 week classes that are fully online, and they dont limit how many courses a student can take, so they can earn their degree in half the time it would normally take.

Plus many of the private and public universities are being hit hard by budget cuts all across the board.
