Register for Oasis’ Winter and Spring Classes!
The Winter/Spring trimester is packed
with classes—some past favorites and some new!
Winter/Spring 2023 classes offer a combination of ‘fan favorites and brand-new topics. Returning is the wildly popular series “Contemporary Issues,” where some of the region’s most fascinating and knowledgeable experts present in an open forum led by Oasis Founder, Marylen Mann, discuss provocative issues that will expand your understanding of contemporary society.
Learn about a new program called “Immersive Oasis.” Immersive classes take a deep dive into one topic with a cohort of like-minded peers for the entire trimester, much like a college course. Classes are available a la carte as well. However, Immersive Oasis participants enjoy exclusive opportunities.
Take a peek at our catalog now and plan your winter and spring curriculum!
