University Express

University Express offers free educational classes for older adults in Erie County. The program runs during spring and fall semesters. You will find classes in a variety of categories, including current affairs, history, humanities, finance, and medicine.

Classes are designed to stimulate the mind and provide opportunities to build social networks, thereby reducing social isolation. No homework or tests, just exciting discussions alongside peers with similar interests!

University Express classes are offered through the Erie County Department for the Aging.

Classes are offered at different locations throughout Erie County. More information about other locations and their offerings here.

Pre-registration is required, as seats are often limited. To register for a University Express class, please call Aileen Gonzalez-Marti at 716-884-6616 x101.

The 2026 spring semester curriculum is currently being planned and scheduled. Please check back in April to see what classes we will be hosting!
