For more than twenty years, Odyssey is the place where the Baltimore community goes to experience the best that The Johns Hopkins University has to offer. From stimulating lecture series, to colorful courses, to hands-on workshops, our non-credit, personal enrichment courses have something for everyone. Designed to fit lifelong learning into your schedule, these courses have no tests or grades—just learning for the sake of learning. Courses are taught by University professors and community experts. They combine outstanding classroom instruction in a fun, enjoyable environment with unusual formats and dynamic components.

Areas within Odyssey include Special Lecture Series and Symposia, Arts and Humanities, Writing and Communications, Foreign Languages, Music and the Performing Arts, Photography and Film, and Natural and Social Sciences. We also offer a non-credit Certificate on Aging.

It’s never been easier to grow, explore and discover. Please refer to the online version of the Odyssey catalog for complete, up-to-date description of current classes or to receive a catalog by mail, call the Odyssey office at 410-516-4842.
