Discover the possibilities waiting for you at the Lifelong Learning Institute!

Since 2002, the Harper College Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI) has provided enriching and entertaining educational opportunities to adults age 55+ in our community. LLI’s innovative classes appeal to every interest–with no background, homework or grades necessary. Click here to look through our spring LLI course brochure or request a brochure in the mail.

 This spring, we’re featuring course series on Six Years that Shaped America, Rock Music and the Haunted. Individual courses are offered in the arts, current events, politics, science, travel and more. Register online or call 847.925.6300.

LLI Testimonials:

I’ve enjoyed making time for Harper’s Lifelong Learning Institute for several years now. As all retirees know, our days are filled with lots to do, and Harper gives us the added advantage of new ideas, programs, lectures and an opportunity to meet like-minded people. I consider the membership fee that the Institute charges one of the best investments I’ve made.

I have enjoyed the LLI so much. It is providing for me the classes I didn’t get to take when I was younger and of course, there is no testing!

Harper’s Lifelong Learning program has been a great place to learn more about the things I am interested in, to broaden my horizons, and to make new friends. I have really enjoyed the variety of courses. Now, if we only had a course about how to make more time in one’s day!
