Hey, retired or semi-retired Nashvillians: This one’s for you. You know that learning doesn’t end when you graduate — but did you know Lipscomb University has a Lifelong Learning program with classes tailored just to you?

Providing retirement or semi-retirement aged people an opportunity to expand their knowledge + explore new ideas in an informal and relaxed environment, the program ensures classes are all about the learning by requiring no exams, grades, credits, or prior education.

Some of our favorite course topics for the Fall 2023 semester (which begins Monday, Aug. 28):

  • The letters of Margaret Mitchell and Herschel Brickell
  • A Civil War deep dive with historian + Civil War expert Thomas Cartwright
  • A Southern hospitality cooking class
  • Local author features
  • Music at the Mansion (back by popular demand)
  • The 2024 Presidential election
  • Native gardening
  • A monthly book club

Bonus: They have single-day classes, too.
