They aspire to become managers who are responsible for making a difference in themselves, their workplaces, and their communities. They are interested in starting their own entrepreneurial business or engaging in consulting or training activities. Our programs demand participation and interaction, and students are expected to assume responsibility for the direction of their learning and the direction of their lives. They find the community support and safety they need to examine themselves and experiment with new behaviors, discovering and developing the assets that form managers who can lead with their heads and their hearts. Students report that Antioch New England's influence on their lives is both immediate and lasting.
Interested applicants are welcome to visit a class.
Class sizes at our two sites are carefully restricted. In addition to classwork, students engage in a faculty-supervised practicum, giving them another opportunity to incorporate theory into actual organizational life. Students are expected to have regular access to a computer and the Internet for class assignments, communication with faculty and administrators, and library and enrollment services. Since many students enter our programs seeking personal and professional transformation, we measure our success by the way graduates carry out their jobs and develop their careers. Graduates become better leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, trainers, and consultants in public, private, for profit and nonprofit organizations.
