Wisconsin residents who are 60 or older (as of the first day of class) are eligible to audit a class free of tuition.
“I enjoyed everything about my Art History class. My professor, Laurentia McIntosh, made the art world come alive. The value of auditing a class is that I was in a class I wanted to take, there was no pressure to take tests or write papers and I could just enjoy learning about art. Being with the young students gave me a new look at life on campus. It has been exactly 50 years since I was a freshman in college. I will be taking more classes and encouraging my friends to join me in this adventure. I am delighted that the university reaches out to seniors to enrich our lives with this program.”
