Desmond Campus for Adult Enrichment
The Desmond Campus for Adult Enrichment in Balmville (2 miles north of the main campus) provides noncredit courses and educational programs for adults of all ages to expand their skills, knowledge, and understanding, from art to computer skills to yoga. LIFE (Learning Is Forever Enriching) is an educational and social program for adult learners, aged 55 and older. Courses are taught during daytime hours by volunteer instructors. Full-length courses, short courses, and day trips are offered through the program. There are three sessions per year: March-June; July-October; and November-February, with separate catalogs for each. A minimal membership fee applies for each session.
Since 1997, the Desmond staff have organized the Mount's participation in the Road Scholars program, which is held every year during the summer. Each one-week session includes classroom instruction and related field trips. The program is offered to those 55 years old and over on a resident or commuter basis. For more information about any of these programs, call the Desmond Campus for Adult Enrichment at 845-565-2076, or send an email to desmondcampus@msmc.edu.
Life experience plus credit by examination may not exceed 45 credits.
