Do you still have that recurring dream where it’s time for a college final exam and you’ve never been to class? (I know I’m not the only one!) Here’s the antidote! Learning with no pressure. While Bloomington is best known for Indiana University, the Bloomington Humanities Center offers another way for residents to educate themselves! By providing affordable, high quality adult education courses and reading groups to anyone in the community, the Bloomington Humanities Center offers courses on topics such as history, religion, art, film, literature and philosophy. Best of all, students don’t need to meet any educational requirements or pass any tests to enjoy these courses! There are no prerequisites, no attendance taken and no one is denied enrollment. It’s all about learning for the love of it at the Bloomington Humanities Center!
