Can I download iTunes U on my mac?

I've downloaded the application on my phone but I'd like to download it on my mac as well. Is this possible? If so, how can I do it?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

You need to go to the Podcasts view to see any iTunes U media.

As the article says:

After the move, iTunes U will no longer appear in iTunes on your Mac or PC and you won't be able to download new content to your computer. (Learn more about downloading content before the move.) You will still be able to access iTunes U content, however:

To access iTunes U collections, use the Podcasts app on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, or go to the Podcasts section of iTunes on your Mac or PC. Content might be categorized differently than it was previously, but you'll be able to find content by searching for the artist or collection name.
To access iTunes U public courses, use the iTunes U app on an iOS device.

Any links to content from iTunes U collections will redirect to the same content in Podcasts. Links to content in public courses will work on iOS devices only.

Best of luck,

As I noted in my reply to

Will iTunes U ever be an App from the Mac App Store?

…the iTunes U student experience is only available for iOS.

The teacher experience is available on iOS and the web:

https://itunesu.itunes.apple.com/coursemanager/

If you are a student, I suggest you tell Apple about your need for iTunes U on the Mac:

The link says it will work on Mac but when I go to app store it says iTunes U app only available for ioS devices ...so cannot get in on Mac.

Is there an alternate?

You can only install one version of iTunes per operating system. I currently have Sierra and High Sierra running in separate partitions so I can reboot to test behaviour in the other version.

I went down to Explore and it has the same stupid list as the pull down menu. It appears Apple is only interested in chasing money not promoting training and education. Sad.
