Welcome to OLLI

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) is a community of adults, who believe in lifelong learning, engagement and exploration. While OLLI's not-for-credit courses and workshops are designed for adults 50 and older, there is no age limit on membership, so if you find our programs attractive, we encourage you to apply! Our courses cover a wide range of topics, including art history, film, history, politics and economics, literature and language, and science. There are no mandatory exams, assignment or grades. We invite you to continue your journey of lifelong learning through our courses, lectures, and clubs.

This winter, 2025, OLLI is offering an amazing range of high quality courses, including Rear Admiral Michael Davis on what's going on politically in the U.S. these days, Dr. Darren Zook on Artificial Intelligence, Mick Chantler on The Cuban Missile Crisis, Dr. Richard Bell on Fighting Slavery in Early America, Dr. Laura Prichard on Beethoven and the French Revolution, Dr. Anne Dunlea on Cognitive Development, and lots more. 

Winter 2025 will be exceptional and we urge you not to miss it. Not only that, but we are also offering a range of Osher Online courses, taught by experts from all over the USA. For $325 (or less, if you are a new OLLI member), you can join unlimited OLLI courses this winter. For $600, you can watch unlimited courses through two sessions, right up to the end of May 2025. 

If you miss our Winter Open House, scroll down to the Events section below. We will post the recording in the next few days and you can view presentations from most of our Winter instructors!

Course Descriptions

I love the recorded Zoom classes. The availability of recordings is timely and so convenient when I’m unable to Zoom in real time. OLLI instructors are extraordinary and class content is superb. Plus, Premium Membership is such a good value. With it, 3-4 classes per session are actually very inexpensive!
