Osher at JHU is a membership community providing a vibrant educational and social environment for mature adults. The Institute offers a rich array of stimulating courses, lectures, and activities, along with opportunities for social interaction during fall and spring semesters. The Osher courses and lectures are offered during the day. Our programs are non-credit, delivered in a wide array of formats and locations. There are no entrance requirements, no tests, and no grades, just learning for the sake of learning. If you’re interested in cultural and intellectual growth, join our community of learners! Osher at Johns Hopkins University has been supported by the Bernard Osher Foundation since 2008 and is one of 124 Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes in the country. We are also sustained by the generous donations and powerhouse volunteerism of our roughly 800 members.
