The Masters in Clinical Psychology Program is great! I love the courses and my cohort. It is a very small school which means your professors get to you know you well as a student. The only downfall is some of the faculty were not good instructors and it is very expensive.
Most professors made the online experience great in our virtual classes. They were creative in ensuring we were practicing therapy despite not being in person.
My experience at Antioch University was very interesting. This was my first term studying at a university. I was enrolled with groups of few students. The teachers always showed professionalism in their class. Each class was very original since each teacher had her own way of teaching her class. In each class they gave us the opportunity to participate and share experiences and opinions. What makes Antioch University especial is that the teachers know us and see the type of student we are since it is a private university.
What I would like it to be different is that we have more support from the counselors so that they can guide us on the way to school and that we know exactly which is the academic plan that we must follow. The classes at the university are very expensive, that's why I want to be very sure that I am taking the classes I need for my degree. I also wish there were Latino people working at the university.

In this first term, all my classes were online for the reason that the university was closed due to the COVID 19 situation. I have had experience in online classes. The teachers used a very easy to use platform. Where we could find the assignments to complete. Also our classes were by zoom and it is a very easy to use application. I sincerely liked taking my classes personally, but I like the online classes and in the same way the teachers and students showed respect and professionalism. The teachers were very punctual in the online classes. We communicated very easily on behalf of the university as well as with the tutors. Online classes also have its advantages, since my son is also taking his classes online and I can be supervising and helping him. So I also enjoyed the interaction in online classes.
I am just applying to Antioch Santa Barbara and I have heard a lot of good things about them. All of the people I have talked to are currently working in the field, and that is very important to me when choosing a college.
I was accepted to Antioch and was super excited to transfer to become a liberal arts major. However I was also able to get a rare opportunity to be in an esthetician program so I chose that instead, deferring my enrollment to antioch. After I got licensed as an esthetician, I went back to antioch to discuss classes and my major, however I was shocked when they told me that I wouldn't have enough units to get a liberal arts degree in the amount of time they originally promised me I would, but that I would be eligible for an "applied studies" degree in the amount of a two year period. I was so happy I deffered my enrollment and didn't start paying for a degree that I was promised but couldn't complete in two years. Staff is extremely nice, but do your research before you make a full commitment to paying for those classes that their telling you your getting your degree for! Plus, I have met one or two graduates from there who are complete screw balls, obviously antioch did not help!!!
This school was awful...Like an extremist cult...Anti-male pedagogy... Discrimination against male students was institutionalized.... the teachers had no experience in education...Many of the students knew more about the subjects than the teachers who lacked any practical experience...just political nonsense.
This place is for academic underachievers and the staff is not even remotely close to being professional top caliber instructors, rather they are mostly bottom of their class wanna-bees. It's an alternative school for alternative students, which means students who couldn't cut it in mainstream universities. Avoid avoid avoid!
This horrible low class dump of a school (if it can be called a school) is a diploma mill and nothing more. Horrible instructors and staff. Most of the students are underachievers and only go here because they know they can pass every class, and they know they will not even be graded.
SB is very pricey. Splitting an apartment might be the best way to go here. I am not aware of any housing program through the school.
Two people out of my program received a scholarship that covered a portion of a quarter's worth of their tuitions.
Antioch provides a great atmosphere for learning. Each course is a blend of lecture, reading, writing, demonstration, and class collaboration.
The MACP program is aligned with the standards of the CBBS to allow students to be eligible for CA MFT licensing. The pass rate on the exams are over something over 80% (I forget exactly) according to the school's administration.

You'll be living in Southern California! Santa Barbara, no less! It is beautiful here year round.
Parking is a hassle. Their is no parking lot assigned to the school, so you must look for parking on the street or a parking garage near by.
Public transportation is really good and buses are always running. They are easy to use and affordable.
Antioch is all in one building and all classes are easy to get to. There is a security guard on site so that if someone needs to get walked to their car. Santa Barbara is a pretty safe area in general.
I live 2.5 hours away from our school, When the program began there were classes about 1 hour away at Alan Hancock College, but the relationship ended with Antioch Univ. for whatever reason. So it's caused me to drive to Santa Barbara weekly. I do carpool with some other ladies in my area, but I doubt there will be many that continue on to the Master's Program to car pool with.
