The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Southern Oregon University (OLLI at SOU) is the Rogue Valley’s premier choice for staying intellectually stimulated and socially connected. This 1,700-member organization, geared to those aged 50+, offers noncredit classes in various Rogue Valley  as well as online.

Our Spring Term Special for $75 is now available! The Spring Term Special covers all courses a member takes during Spring Term only (April 1–June 7). Visit our online catalog and choose "Membership" to join now!

The annual fee entitles members to enroll in an unlimited number of courses (space permitting) from over 100 offerings in each of three terms, from September to June. There is no per-course tuition. Course topics include the arts, history, languages and cultures, life planning, literature, movement, nature, personal exploration, recreation, social sciences, and STEM. Learning is a pleasure for members and instructors alike because there are no tests, grades, or academic prerequisites.

Members can establish connections with other curious minds through lively class discussions, social activities, and shared interest and discussion groups, and well as by volunteering on committees or in governance.

We invite anyone interested in teaching at OLLI to investigate that option further. It is not necessary to be an OLLI member to become a volunteer OLLI instructor. A course can be from 2 to 10 sessions from 60 to 120 minutes in length and can start and stop anytime during the term.

OLLI membership fees are kept low through member donations and the generosity of the Bernard Osher Foundation.
