The KU Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is a part of KU Continuing Education. We are committed to creating accessible and innovative learning environments for the Lawrence, Topeka, and the Kansas City area, with special focus on participants age 50 and over. Learners from all backgrounds and levels of education are welcome to enjoy the benefits of Institute membership.
Choosing from a diverse collection of courses, learners create their own program of personal development, expanding their views of the world and enriching their lives and their communities.
Faculty and facilitators are carefully selected to assure they have the academic qualifications, a passion for the topic, and a love of teaching to create a meaningful and fun learning environment.
The University of Kansas is deeply grateful to The Bernard Osher Foundation in San Francisco for partial funding of the University of Kansas Osher Lifelong Learning Institute as one of its affiliated institutes in the United States.
Osher members enjoy interactive and participatory teaching and learning environments. Generally, courses meet once a week for two hours over a three-week period and require no homework, out-of-class preparation, or testing.
Some Osher classes will overlap, so members may not be able to attend every class.
