The KU Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, part of the University of Kansas Continuing Education, has established a partnership with Hutchinson Community College to bring to the Hutchinson area the diverse content, learning experiences and quality faculty that promote lifelong learning in the community.
The Osher Institute, in partnership with HCC, is committed to creating accessible and innovative learning environments for participants 50+ that stress the joy of learning. Learners from all backgrounds and educational levels can enjoy the benefits of Institute membership.
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 communities.
Faculty are carefully selected for academic qualifications, a passion for the topic, and a love of teaching that creates an interactive, stimulating learning environment. Courses generally meet weekly for two hours over a three-week period and require no homework, out-of-class preparation or testing.
All courses will be held on the campus of Hutchinson Community College in Hutchinson, Kansas.
