Overview

Antioch’s PhD in Leadership and Change program is dedicated to engaging working professionals in the interdisciplinary study, research and practice of leading positive change in workplaces, schools, organizations, and communities, across the country and world. The program is designed to support socially engaged leaders and change agents to inquire into the complex and thorny challenges of their fields and to conduct research that can help improve that practice.

At the heart of study is the student’s own practice in professional life. The program enables learners to continuously reflect on and integrate their real-world experience with scholarship and methods of inquiry. The program encourages students to integrate theory and practice in order to enrich their own practice and expand relevant theory. This is not about an ivory tower, but about taking your learning into your workplace and community to help make positive change, improve outcomes, and engage individuals in ways that benefit the common good.

If I were asked to describe Antioch’s program in three words I would use: interesting, challenging, and rewarding.

I came in a bit unsure because of this program being a total career change, but as I’ve completed some of the courses I’ve gained a real self confidence – thanks to the support and encouragement from the students and staff.

I feel the biggest strength is the diversity of the student population. We all have something different to bring to the table, a different perspective that we can learn from.
