Lifelong Learning with Friends (LLWF) is an inclusive postsecondary education (PSE) program hosted by the University of Texas at Austin (UT). Unlike many other PSE programs, LLWF allows students to self-select courses a-la-carte, empowering them to pursue higher education personally tailored to their interests. LLWF offers 8-15 sophisticated academic courses each Spring, Summer and Fall, with topics ranging from STEM, liberal arts, or self-development. All courses include a nearly 1:1 peer support ratio with UT undergraduate volunteers.
