Courses are a core feature of OLLI’s programming.

OLLI offers fall and spring semesters of 8-week courses taught by distinguished faculty (both current and emeritus) from the University of Illinois and other colleges and universities in the region, and community members from a wide variety of areas. A selection of 4-week courses is also offered.

Each 8-week course costs $40, and 4-week courses are $20 each. Course costs are a la carte – members pay for all of the courses for which they register.

Most courses meet once per week for 90 minutes. We do not take attendance or assign grades, and there are no required assignments (although some courses may offer optional outside reading suggestions).

OLLI recently established a Wellness Program that is designed to offer 60-minute sessions one day per week for six weeks, primarily to accord members continued practice and training from Wellness courses taught during our Fall and Spring Course semesters. Wellness Program courses will be offered during the same periods as our Study Group sessions. These courses will be taught by experts and be limited in size. Course Fee for 6 60-minute sessions: $50
