LOGAN, Utah (AP) -- Utah State University has welcomed an entirely new senior class.

The school's "Senior University" is now in its fourth semester and has an enrollment of 40.

The program is an on-campus classroom for senior citizens. There are no exams, grades, or college credit. But each student receives a certificate of completion at the end of each semester.

The Senior U students travel to campus for 10 weekly lectures. Subjects range from astronomy to folk lore to current events and are presented by USU faculty. Each instructor donates a 45-minute presentation and stays after class to answer questions from the students.
