of 22% overall. The ceremony for the twelve graduates of the Class of 2021—ten Bachelor of Arts and two Bachelor of Science students—was held virtually, similar to 2020's graduation. The presidential search committee, led by Ro Nita Hawes-Saunders of the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, announced in August 2021 the selection of Dr. Jane Fernandes as the new president. Previously president of Guilford College in Greensboro, North Carolina, Dr. Fernandes is the second female president in the college's history, as well as its first deaf president. Academics Antioch College offers nine majors leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree and two majors leading to the Bachelor of Science. Students may also develop a self-designed major in either the arts or sciences. Prospective students are not required to submit SAT or ACT scores for admission. Courses are offered on a quarter-based academic calendar. All students are required to take at least two courses in each of the Antioch-designated Liberal Arts traditions: the Arts, Humanities, Sciences, and Social Sciences, as well as four interdisciplinary "Global Seminar" courses from the topics of Water, Food, Energy, Health, Governance, and Education. Additionally, students must achieve "novice-high proficiency" in a second language. Antioch College currently offers coursework in Spanish, French, and Japanese. Students may test out of taking the language requirement by taking the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI), or have passed an AP exam with a score of 4 or 5.

Co-op program All Antioch students spend four quarters over four years in meaningful domestic and international work experiences in the college's co-op program as part of their academic requirements for graduation.
