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.

  • 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

Bonus: They have single-day classes, too.
