What have students done with a degree focused in spiritual studies?
Some students go on to work for spiritual or religious-based organizations. A few students have started their own practices focused in a particular sector, while others gravitated towards activism. In addition, many students continue to pursue their interest in a related field through graduate work.
What might I do for an internship in this area of concentration?
Students take on an array of activities depending on their interests. Here are some examples of what students have done in the past:
- Assisted teaching children at a Buddhist temple
- Interned at a food bank operated by a religious organization
- Assisted in organizing community
- Apprenticed an energy healer
- Conducted and compiled research for a grassroots religious-based organization
- Co-authored a set of publications for alternative medicine
Can I use my current work experience as part of my degree program?
Yes, this might become an independent study you would develop with the help of your adviser.
Can I document my past professional experience and/or life experience as part of my electives for the spiritual studies concentration?
Yes, with your adviser’s help and in coordination with the credit for life experience coordinator’s approval, you may document your past work experience or life experience relevant to your spiritual studies focus as part of your degree.
How long does it take to complete my undergraduate degree?
Most students graduate from the B.A. completion program in two years or less. Completion of 180 quarter credits is required for graduation. These may include transcript credits from other colleges and universities, Antioch University credits and prior learning credits earned through Antioch's credit for life experience program. You must enroll for a minimum of four quarters and at least 36 current learning credits to get your liberal arts degree from Antioch.
Is it possible to enter this bachelor's degree completion program without deciding my specialization?
Some students enter with a clear idea about their focus. Others do not. Your adviser can help you find ways to think about and articulate your field of study. It all depends on your unique educational purposes. Your interests may start out fairly vague and gain in definition over time. You may begin the degree process with a set of general questions about certain topics or disciplines that pique your curiosity. As you move through the degree process, you develop a more focused sense for your academic specialization.
Can I complete more than one academic concentration?
Students sometimes find it desirable to complete a second area of concentration. In this case, only 35 credits are required as a minimum for the additional area.
