The program in Manhattan is coordinated by UFM Community Learning Center.
The Osher Institute offers courses for participants ages 50 and older that focus on the joy of learning. Instructors are carefully selected for their expertise, a passion for the topic and a love of teaching. Courses generally meet weekly for two hours over a three-week period and require no homework, out-of-class preparation or testing.
