CURRICULUM CATALOG 2014 – 2016 2 CURRICULUM CATALOG Catalog of Entry Though academic program and graduation requirements of the College may change while a student is enrolled, it is expected that each student will meet the requirements outlined in the catalog that is in effect at the time he or she entered Antioch. The “catalog of entry” is considered applicable for students who leave the College and whose interrupted course of study is not longer than five years. This policy shall come into effect on October 1, 2013, despite the designation of the 2014-2016 edition of the catalog. Catalog Changes The curriculum catalog is a general summary of programs, policies and procedures for academic and student life, and is provided for the guidance of students. However, the catalog is not a complete statement of all programs, policies, and procedures in effect at the College. In addition, the College reserves the right to change without notice any programs, policies and procedures that appear in this catalog. The 2014-2016 edition of the curriculum catalog was published and distributed beginning October 1, 2013. Anyone seeking clarification on any of this information should consult with the registrar. Statement of Non-Discrimination Antioch College is committed to a policy of equal opportunity and non-discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, or sexual orientation, as protected by law, in all educational programs and activities, admission of students and conditions of employment. Questions or concerns about this College policy should be directed to the Human Resources Office. Students who have learning disabilities should contact the Office of Academic Support Services. 3 Campus Contacts Academic Affairs Phone: 937-319-6065 Fax: 937-401-0441 E-mail: [email protected] Admission and Financial Aid Phone: 937-319-6139 Fax: 937-319-6085 E-mail: [email protected] Community Life Phone: 937-319-6175 E-mail: [email protected] Cooperative Education Program Phone: 937-768-8042 Fax: 937-660-8483 E-mail: [email protected] Registrar Phone: 937-267-1733 Fax: 937-684-9636 E-mail: [email protected] 4 CURRICULUM CATALOG ANTIOCH COLLEGE CURRICULUM CATALOG Copyright © 2013 Antioch College One Morgan Place Yellow Springs, OH 45387 All rights reserved Curriculum Catalog Publication Committee Hassan Rahmanian Vice President for Academic Affairs Richard Kraince Dean of Cooperative, Experiential, and International Education Jennifer Jolls Director of Institutional Effectiveness David Kammler Associate Professor, Chemistry Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Nicole Wroten-Craw Assistant Director of Communications Micah A.E.
