The James Madison University Lifelong Learning Institute is dedicated to enriching the intellectual and social lives of adult learners by offering stimulating non-credit educational opportunities.
Courses are taught by outstanding university faculty and guest lecturers. Classes are designed to broaden students’ understanding of diverse cultural, societal, scientific, and global issues.
The Institute is a membership-based organization that also provides opportunities for members in social interaction, volunteer engagement, leadership, and travel.
"JMU gives me the opportunity to learn about disciplines and subjects that fascinate me."
