Noncredit courses designed for individuals who are retired or semi-retired

Centennial mum garden, University of Oklahoma campusThe Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Oklahoma is dedicated to promoting lifelong learning and personal growth of older adults, age 50+, through a variety of noncredit courses. Our courses range from one-time offerings such as Mornings with the Professor to longer, more specific courses like Senior Seminars.

Fall Open HouseAug. 28, 2008

OLLI provides a distinctive array of programs and activities for seasoned adults interested in learning for the joy of learning.

Mornings with the Professor

Mornings with the Professor is an informal lecture series held on Tuesday mornings throughout the fall and spring semesters with some of the University of Oklahoma's most interesting faculty.

OU Book Club
The OU Book Club has long been one of OLLI’s most outstanding programs. Led by Dr. Rufus Fears, the discussion group focuses on a different classic work of literature each month.
Senior Seminars
These seminars are designed to offer seniors an avenue for continued learning of a specific topic led by faculty of the University. Topics for the noncredit courses will change each semester.
     
Intergenerational Camps

These special camps were established to bring grandparents and their grandchildren together in an unusual setting to learn about topics such as Native American culture, aviation, and money management.

Elderlearn
Elderlearn is a one-day program that offers learners three lectures with different OU faculty members on a designated topic. Join us for this very popular program.
Scenic Tours
The Scenic Tours provides seniors an opportunity to learn the history about the Tahlimena Drive, Route 66 and more, right here in Oklahoma, and view their beauty.
