CSUSB - Palm Desert Offering Summer No Credit Classes

CSUSB is opening summer classes for older residents, for the sheer joy of learning.

The Osher Lifelong Learning Center Institute at Cal State San Bernardino’s Palm Desert Campus is accepting applications for its summer quarter of classes, which begin on June 12. 

This summer’s Osher classes include courses on famous mutinies; new thoughts an modern religions; Mexican art, culture and personalities; a selection of significant political films; and a class focused on the history of computers. 

“Summer is a great time for valley residents to try the Osher Institute if they have not already taken our classes, since outdoor activities are so limited during our warm months,” said Steve McAdams, program administrator. 

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is designed for adults 50 and older who want to experience learning for the fun of it.  Courses are offered for no credit, and there are no grades, no tests or homework for the students.   The institute offers quarterly memberships for $150 and courses typically cover subject areas in arts and humanities, natural sciences and social sciences.

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. IRead More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.

Dorothy you actually believe criminals can't get guns without a background check. Wow are youRead More naive. Just because YOU don't understand why some people want a particular weapon...does not mean you can impose your ownership standards on someone else. Suppose I suggest you don't need the particular car you drive or the particlar beverage you drink? I see you are opposed to hunting. How do you feel about abortion? Typical liberal double standard at play here??

Totally agree. This is just the beginning of a gun grab. All it will accomplish is furtherRead More restrictions on law abiding citizens. Chicago is a perfect example. Strictest gun control in the nation and highest gun crime and murder rate. Criminals do not comply with the law. Only legal citizens will lose their rights to own the weapon of their choice. Liberals are all about choice when it comes to killing an unborn, but when it comes to a lawful gunowner's choice it's a different story altogether.
