Welcome to Joliet Junior College's Lifelong Learning Program!

Explore classes designed to provide a multitude of learning opportunities.

Students of all ages enroll in lifelong learning classes to enrich their minds, explore new talents and keep up with today's constantly changing technologies. Many enjoy the more relaxed atmosphere of non-credit classes as they focus on gaining a skill without the pressure of grades.

Classes are set during the day, evenings and weekends to accommodate the busy schedules of today's families. 

Community & Continuing Education Catalog

The best way to see all the lifelong learning classes that we offer is to read our catalog. The catalog is published three times a year. Printed copies are mailed directly to those on our mailing list. An interactive version is also available online.
