Credits Earned in the Final Two Years Policy

Antioch College recognizes that the learning that takes place in the final two years during a student’s course of study is the most intense, and the College especially values the deep and transdisciplinary study that takes place during the Capstone Project. It is for this reason that the following policy is in place:

1. 45 of the last 90 quarter credits earned towards a bachelor’s degree must be earned through Antioch College. These credits are generally assumed to be earned in Year 3 and Year 4 of a student’s education, for those on a path to a standard 4-year graduation.
2. Students are required to take all credits in the final two study terms of the fourth year through Antioch College, based on an average load of 16 credits per study term.
3. The Capstone Project and the Senior Reflection Paper, which represent capstone educational experiences, must be taken at Antioch College, and not through any consortial arrangement.
4. Consortial arrangements, such as cross-registration through SOCHE or GLCA/GLAA, may be used to meet these 45 credits, with the exceptions of the Capstone courses noted above.
