Accelerated Degree Options

The ladder option allows undergraduate students to take select graduate courses that will count toward their undergraduate and graduate degrees at Antioch. Up to 12 credits can be counted in Psychology and Education, and 10 in the Center for Creative Change (C3). When combined with the ability for B.A. students to document life experience for credit (20 to 30 credits on average), you could shorten your combined tenure in the B.A. and master's programs by up to one year, saving both time and money.

All of Antioch's eight master's degrees are included in the ladder option:   

• Graduate Teacher Preparation
• M.A. in Education
• M.A. in Psychology with various concentrations
• M.A. in Communication
• M.A. in Environment and Community
• M.A. in Organizational Development
• M.A. in Whole Systems Design
• M.S. in Management and Leadership

If you plan to pursue a graduate degree after completing your B.A., the ladder option is a great way to integrate and accelerate your education goals.
