Learning for Life / Community Education

Learning for Life offers personal enrichment and community education classes for all ages. Some classes are offered for credit and others are offered non-credit. Whether you would like a class to brush up on your skills, to explore areas of interest or for something fun and different.

These classes are designed with you in mind. Classes are scheduled more flexibly, for one day, one weekend, or one semester. Topics for adults include art, music, technology, finance, nature, travel, and recreation.
Classes for young people are kept small, taught by college faculty, taught in a fun and stimulating environment and designed to stretch minds and imagination.
