Lifelong Learning for Adults Age 55+

See what we are offering this fall! 

Access our recorded classes here. 

University Express offers free educational classes for older adults in Erie County. The program runs during spring and fall semesters. You will find classes in a variety of categories, including current affairs, history, humanities, finance and medicine.

Classes are designed to stimulate the mind and provide opportunities to build social networks, thereby reducing social isolation. No homework or tests, just exciting discussions alongside peers with similar interests!

Visit EC Senior Services Combat Social Isolation page for other opportunities to keep your mind stimulated and active.
