College Level Courses Offered to Seniors given in Paramus and Teaneck

Senior Citizens interested in taking low-cost courses in a relaxed environment, without tests or grades, are invited to enroll in the Institute of New Dimensions classes, beginning mid March 2013

IND continues its 27th year of daytime education this spring. Fifteen courses, taught by experts in their fields, will cover such diverse subjects as music, poetry, drama, history, science, current controversial issues, personal finance and play reading. Each course consists of five 90 minute sessions offered over 12 weeks. Students may enroll in as many courses as they wish. Each five-session course costs $15 and there is a one term $20 registration fee.

IND, run entirely by volunteers, supports the belief that intellectual stimulation in a friendly environment fosters a healthy senior population. The program is open to all persons 50 or older.

Teachers in the program are distinguished experts willing to share their expertise with seniors who are eager to renew or extend their own education. This semester's instructors include current and retired faculty from area universities and colleges, several attorneys and a retired New Jersey Supreme Court Justice.
