"From the nation's top colleges to local two-year institutions, programs catering to this rapidly growing group of Americans [retirees] are being developed and expanded. With projections stating that more than 75,000,000 Americans are expected to turn 65 within the next 10 years, it is no surprise that colleges and universities have realized the importance of this older generation." (USA Today Magazine) This article examines some of the college and university offerings for retirees looking for "opportunities to increase their knowledge, nurture their creativity, and engage in lively discussion and debate among a group of their peers."
