Mission

To provide, at a modest cost, learning experiences for retired and semi-retired persons, regardless of previous educational background.

The Pursuit of Learning in Society (POLIS) organization, sponsored by Quincy University, allows active, retired adults to continue a lifetime of learning while relaxing in a comfortable academic setting with those your own age.

Take a Class without Taking Tests

Choose from a dozen or more courses that are attended by retirees and taught by university professors, field experts, religious leaders, and researchers that are designed to open your mind and stimulate thinking about variety of subjects.   These subjects can include history, music, art, literature, biology, political science, philosophy, theology, criminal justice, law and business.

Calendar

POLIS offers courses for the Fall Semester and Spring Semester concurrent with Quincy University degree courses. Most classes are held at Quincy University’s North Campus (North 18th Street and Seminary Road) from 2:00 to 4:00 PM with alternate locations and times for field classes.

Registration

You can register by mail or  in person during a scheduled registration day in the Center for Science lobby located at the North Campus

Cost

Membership for one semester is $15. Each session of a class costs only $4. Anyone who is retired can even come and audit one class for no charge.
