If you’re retired, it’s the perfect time to kick back, relax and … continue your education? You bet! Plenty of educational opportunities are available to senior citizens. Whether you’re interested in art history, personal finance or any other topic, you’re bound to find accessible opportunities to further your education throughout your golden years.
Your local college or university
Think your college days are over? Think again! Plenty of colleges and universities will reduce or waive tuition on their regular course offerings for people over a certain age, and offer many continuing education classes as well. So whether you want to learn Italian or take a poetry-writing class, it’s worthwhile to see what your local school offers.
Online learning
There’s a world of opportunity available at a click of your mouse. Online learning offerings include those of the AARP’s LearningAdvisor portal, which offers personal and professional web-based courses for people ages 50-plus.
Your public library
Libraries offer a wealth of educational opportunities, from film discussion groups to practical courses on internet literacy.
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
Like college, but with no homework or tests, the courses offered by the Osher Institute attract people 50 and over who are interested in “learning for the joy of learning.” Courses are offered through universities in a wide variety of communities.
