Lifelong Learning Center at Midwestern State University
The Lifelong Learning Center at Midwestern State University is a member-driven community of learners dedicated to inspiring and enriching the minds and spirits of Texomans over the age of 50.
Learners from all backgrounds and education levels are welcome to be members of the Lifelong Learning Center. Our classes are instructed by qualified individuals in our community as well as current and retired MSU faculty. These noncredit classes are divided into two academic terms (fall/spring) and explore topics in the fields of health, history, culture, science, religion, law, and the arts.
A Lifelong Learning Center is not only about taking classes. It’s also about developing a community of older adults who want to socialize and discuss intellectual topics with peers outside of the classroom. We are incredibly fortunate to have a wonderful home that MSU has provided for us at 2 Eureka Circle where our members can gather. Here, we strive to build a thriving community of lifelong learners.
