Nova Southeastern University’s Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI) gives local residents another reason to look forward to retirement.

To enrich the lives of its members and the community, LLI provides an educational environment for mature adults in South Florida offering programs that promote intellectual stimulation, physical well being, and social growth.

Through a unique, inviting environment, the LLI offers challenging educational lectures and social opportunities to connect with other like-minded individuals through field trips and special events.

LLI members can take advantage of opportunities to audit classes at the university. Such experiences offer true intergenerational learning while sitting side by side with NSU students and faculty, sharing and learning from each other.

Who attends LLI classes and programs?

The Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI) is longstanding at Nova Southeastern University (NSU). Founded in 1977, the LLI serves lifelong learning passions of retired adults.  The LLI was founded to complete the NSU dream of education spanning a whole lifetime, from preschool to older-adult learning.

Many LLI members are retired professionals such as lawyers, doctors, business people, and teachers, or just active people who want to keep learning. Campus membership is about 50 percent female and 50 percent male with an age range from 50 to 90 and an average age of 75.
