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.

KU Osher Participants’ Comments

Reading Hemingway
"This is my first class and I will attend many more in the future. It has awakened me to what I have been missing."
"Carothers (instructor) and Hemingway were a fantastic combination. Best-most stimulating Osher class I’ve attended."
