Become an OLLI at FSU Member
Keep learning. Meet interesting people. Explore something new.
OLLI at FSU membership is open to adults who want to keep learning and stay engaged. There are no educational prerequisites, and you do not need to be an FSU graduate or have any previous connection to Florida State University.
Our members come from many different backgrounds but share something important: curiosity. They enjoy learning for the sake of learning and being part of a community where new ideas, experiences, friendships, and opportunities are always waiting.
“OLLI brings so much enrichment to my retirement life! And I've made so many new friends. Learning and laughing make for great times!”
Learning Designed for You
OLLI offers three terms each year—Fall, Spring, and Summer—with non-credit courses designed to educate, inspire, amuse, and challenge.
Classes explore an extraordinary range of subjects, including history, science, literature, current events, art, music, technology, health, culture, writing, language, and much more.
Our instructors include current and retired university faculty, graduate students, professionals, and community experts who bring their knowledge and enthusiasm into the OLLI classroom.
There are no tests, no grades, and no degree requirements. Choose what interests you and enjoy learning simply because you want to.
