The Second Half is a learning community of adults in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. We offer:
- study groups
- interest groups
- trips
- social events
- special lectures
Our study groups and interest groups are determined and chosen by member interest every semester, and membership is open to all.
- A fee of $25 per academic year makes you a full member.
- A tuition of $120 per semester allows you to join two classes on any topic being offered. Additional classes are $30 per class.
Most classes are held in downtown Fall River, at the Professional and Continuing Education Center on South Main Street. It boasts a cafe on the ground floor, and a parking garage nearby for easy access. A few classes are held off site. All classes are held during the day.
