Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI)

Osher Logo

The OSHER Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at California State University Channel Islands brings the excitement and stimulation of college learning to area seniors (50 or better!) who wish to extend their learning experiences in a university atmosphere. At OLLI, university-quality short courses are offered by university faculty as well as qualified members of the senior community without the distraction of grading, preparing for a career, or meeting degree requirements. No more testing, just learning for pure stimulation and enjoyment!

From its inception in September, 2004, OLLI has offered a wide range of quality courses. Membership in the Institute permits enrollment in one or more courses in each eight week session, with three sessions offered each year. Members also play a large role in determining the courses that will be offered, and members may also propose and teach courses.  Retired university professors are particularly invited to propose and teach courses at the Institute.  Contact the Director at marty.kaplan@csuci.edu to discuss potential courses.
