The skills, knowledge and talents you bring to your graduate work are key to this program's curriculum, designed with experienced educators in mind.
You join others with backgrounds in early childhood and K-12 education, adult and higher education, student services, community college instruction, English as a second language, training design, public service education and community education in ecology, health and the arts.
Self-designed Option at Seattle Campus
On campus, you have the flexibility of full- or part-time study. Full-time students typically complete the 48-credit program in six quarters or less. Courses meet late afternoons, evenings and occasional Saturdays to accommodate the needs of working adults. You work with your adviser to build your program around your professional interests and these core knowledge areas:
- Leadership and change
- Diversity and equity
- Curriculum studies and reflective practice
- Inquiry and research
You also can take graduate-level courses from Antioch's other academic centers and prepare for add-on endorsements.
Off-campus Sites Provide Other Options
Sites within K-12 school districts offer another program option. You have the support of a cohort of about 20 fellow educators in this program, which meets at a school in your district. Sites have included Marysville, Stanwood, Tacoma and the First Peoples' Education program at the Muckleshoot Tribal College in Auburn. This full-time, site-based program also has a 48-credit curriculum and can be completed in five quarters. You still also have flexibility to design components of your program.
Numerous Career Paths Open to You
With your newly expanded knowledge base and professional experience, you can promote and lead efforts for change in schools, districts, colleges, businesses and communities. While some graduates choose administrative careers, many receive local, statewide and national recognition for designing new educational models and approaches as well as for creating programs that address social equity and justice.
