Lifelong Learning with Maine's Senior Colleges

Learning for fun!

No tests, no papers, no grades 

We have 17 senior colleges in Maine. Each senior college plans exciting, intellectually stimulating non-credit courses (taught by volunteers) and provides exciting learning opportunities for adults over 50.​

​

Reasonable fees

Senior colleges charge between $25 to $40 for an annual membership, plus an additional modest tuition for each course. Scholarships are available.
