The Odyssey Project completed its fifth year in spring 2011. Since fall 2006, the Odyssey Project has offered a free, college-accredited course in the humanities to members of the Champaign-Urbana community who fall at or near the poverty level. The yearlong course offers students intensive study in philosophy, art history, literature, U.S. history, and critical thinking and writing. Classes are taught by University of Illinois faculty and take place every Tuesday and Thursday from September to May at the Douglass Branch Library in Champaign. Tuition is free, as are books, transportation, and childcare.

The Odyssey Project is made possible by the generous financial and institutional support of the Office of the Chancellor, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the Illinois Humanities Council.
