Worcester Institute for Senior Education

Assumption University’s School of Graduate Studies presents the Worcester Institute for Senior Education (WISE), a premier lifelong learning institute. Since 1993, this member-run organization has offered intellectual stimulation and personal growth for older adult learners. WISE Instructors are retired professors and/or individuals with expertise in their field who engage members through educational programming. Peer learning and active participation are key components. The membership fee entitles members to participate in Institute courses, clubs, discussion groups, attend special events, use the University library, and attend University lectures and cultural activities. The WISE program features in-person and zoom options to accommodate both inperson and remote learners. Courses are held during the day in Fall, Spring, and Summer terms.
