Community members can join ONU students for the course “American Architecture: Understanding the World Around You” during spring semester. The course will examine the importance of architecture in understanding history and the built environment.
There is no fee for community members who want to take the class on a non-credit basis. Community members who wish to enroll will have options to take the course as a senior citizen or auditor, and information on those options will be available through the registrar’s office.
