Osher Lifelong Learning
Institute (OLLI)
Funded in part by the Bernard
Osher Foundation, the OLLI was
created for adults age 50+ who wish
to learn and explore for the pure
enjoyment of it. Innovative intel-lectual
activities such as lectures,
classes, and field trips take place on
the Fresno State campus and off-site
in other communities.
Non-credit Programs
Offerings in this area include spe-cially
designed programs developed
to satisfy the needs of the specific
participants or organizations in-volved.
Short courses, conferences,
seminars, workshops, institutes, test
preparation classes, and enrichment
programs for children are offered
throughout the year.
Certificate Programs
Certificate programs are designed
for adults who are seeking in-depth
knowledge or competency in a
specialized area but who do not need
a degree. With segments building
upon one another, these programs
help increase participants’ advance-ment
and/or career options.
Off-Campus Degree
Programs
These programs allow students
living in other areas to earn degrees
without moving or commuting to
the campus. They consist of week-end
classes designed for working
professionals and held at selected
locations throughout the Central
Valley.
