Your degree committee sets this program apart from the other structured options open to you. This committee includes your core faculty adviser and two field advisers you select from outside Antioch who can bring a practical perspective to your degree and its value in the community once you graduate. You chair your degree committee, which works with you all the way to graduation.

Your committee meets four times over the course of your degree work, helps you design your individualized degree program, challenges and supports you to do your best work and assesses and affirms that you meet your learning goals and degree requirements.
