THE OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE (OLLI) The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Miami was founded in 1984.

Previously known as the Institute for Retired Professionals, the name was changed upon the awarding of a grant from the Osher Foundation. A department of the Division of Continuing and International Education, the Institute welcomes all members of the community who are retired or semi-retired and who consider learning an integral part of life.

Membership is open to all those who wish to continue their pursuit of learning, new ideas, and social and cultural opportunities.

The Institute’s programs are designed to accommodate a relaxed learning style and make it easy for anyone who may have been away from the formal learning environment for many years. Classes included in this schedule are offered with no tests and its most cases, no homework.

Classes are designed to spark your curiosity and to encourage your participation. And, classes are structured to fit a flexible schedule.
