Membership

Osher at Carnegie Mellon seeks to provide a variety of challenging learning opportunities for adult area residents from diverse backgrounds. Members are offered an array of courses and activities to stimulate their learning and curiosity.

Three semesters of classes are offered per year: Winter-Spring, Summer, and Fall. (View catalog page for details) Instructors from our universities and colleges, the local business community, musicians, and artisans in the area present many stimulating classes for our members. You must be a member to register for classes.

Several day trips, multi-day trips, and luncheons are planned each year, each with an educational or cultural theme. Evening lectures are held once a month on campus in the University Center from January through May, and from September through December.

As a member, you will receive curriculum catalogs, invitations to social events and lectures, and the periodically issued It’s All Talk newsletter from the Osher office.

The membership fee is $40/year. Members will be sent a yearly invoice for payment of dues in August. In order to maintain your membership, the $40 fee must be paid yearly. In order to receive a copy of the current catalog in the mail, your dues must be remitted by the due date on the invoice. If your membership renewal is not received by December 31, your membership may lapse.

To enroll in classes, members pay $50 per term for an unlimited number of classes. You do not need to take classes to maintain your membership.
