Antioch University Midwest

Antioch University Midwest (AUM) was a campus of a private institution of higher education serving adult students in Yellow Springs, Ohio.

Under Mann's leadership, Antioch College took the Harvard academic model of Latin, Greek, mathematics, history, philosophy, and science to a new level, with an emphasis on educating the "whole individual" with a commitment to social and moral character.

Arthur E. Morgan was president of Antioch College from 1920 to 1936, developing a curriculum in which students alternate on-campus study with off-campus work experience, furthering the Antioch tradition of developing the whole person through education and experiential learning.

Douglas McGregor, a renowned social scientist and management theorist, served as president of Antioch College from 1948 to 1954.

McGregor authored a highly influential book, "The Human Side of Enterprise," which revolutionized labor relations by conceiving of employees as inherently creative and self-motivated individuals who had something to offer an organization ("Theory Y").

This notion rippled through the world of managerial practice, challenging the belief that employees must be commanded and controlled because of an inherent desire to avoid work whenever possible ("Theory X").

In 1988, these two programs became the School of Adult and Experiential Learning (SAEL), separating from the College and becoming an independent part of Antioch University.

Certificates were available in Reggio Emilia approach, Dyslexia Studies, Coaching and Mentoring, and Trauma-Informed Education.

The Reggio Emilia,[7] Dyslexia Studies,[8] and Trauma-Informed Education[9] certificates are currently offered online through Antioch University's New England campus.
