OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is an academic cooperative that provides mature adults with opportunities for intellectual development, cultural stimulation, and social interaction. OLLI educational programs are centered around classes developed and taught by its members, who volunteer their time and talents to share their knowledge and interests with other members.

To learn more about this program, attend a free brown bag lunch at our Exton campus for additional information.

Catalog
The number and types of courses available depend on the expertise and interests of the instructing members. Topics covered may include current events, geography and travel, history, literature, music, philosophy, psychology, and religion. OLLI courses are nondegree courses. No credits are earned and no grades are assigned for the completion of these courses. 

OLLI operates on a two-semester system, offering classes during the fall and spring. Classes meet 10 times during the semester and take place during the day. Come to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and register for the next semester.
