Registration is underway for the spring term of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), Coastal Carolina University's premier noncredit program for adult education opportunities. The course schedule is available online at coastal.edu/olli. Classes will be held at four outreach centers located in Conway at the Coastal Science Center (301 Allied Drive), Georgetown (909 Front Street), Litchfield (14427 Ocean Highway) and Myrtle Beach (900 79th Avenue N.).

Nearly 200 noncredit classes and workshops, as well as a variety of special interest clubs and travel opportunities, are offered for seasoned learners between April 1 and June 4. Topics include computer technology, art and photography, foreign languages, history and government, literature and writing, music, theater and film, personal growth and skill development, philosophy and religion, science and nature.
