A $150 annual fee entitles members to enroll in an unlimited number of OLLI classes (space permitting) from over 100 courses offered in each of three terms, from September to June. There is no per-course tuition.
Course topics include the arts, history, languages and cultures, life planning, literature, movement, nature, personal exploration, recreation, social sciences, and STEM. Learning is a pleasure for members and instructors alike because there are no tests, grades, or academic prerequisites.
