Methods Courses: 0 or 4 credits*

Antioch’s innovative curriculum results in a fluid list of courses that meet this requirement. Please see your advisor or the Registrar for the latest up-to-date list of these courses.

*The Methods requirement is a tag (courses tagged M ), meaning that it can be satisfied by courses that credit in other areas, if desired (but could indeed credit in major if a student chooses to do so). If the credits associated with a Methods Tagged course are not credited in the major, additional credits in the major must be earned. For example, a student could take MEDA 350, and a) assign its 4 credits in the major and satisfy the Methods requirement; or b) assign its 4 credits in General Education and satisfy the Methods requirement and need to earn 4 more credits in the major.
