Early Bird Special

At People's University, we don't ask whether the class is half empty or half full, we ask how many are on the wait list. Register early and assure yourself a place in the course of your choice. The first student enrolled in each course will receive a free People's University tote bag at the first class meeting. They're great for carrying class supplies!
