Antioch University is a private university with multiple campuses in the United States and online programs. It is the offshoot of Antioch College, which was founded in 1852. Antioch College's first president was politician, abolitionist, and education reformer Horace Mann. In 1977, the College network was re-incorporated as Antioch University to reflect its growth across the country into numerous graduate education programs. It operates four campuses located in three states, as well as an online division and the Graduate School of Leadership and Change. All campuses of the university are regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.

The university's four campuses are located in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, California, Keene, New Hampshire, and Seattle. Antioch University suspended operations of Antioch College in 2008, and later sold the campus and a license to use the name "Antioch College" in 2009. Since then, the college has had no affiliation with the university.[2]
