Residential Short Courses

 Residential Short Courses

Residential Short Courses are among several ways that we activate our library, gardens, and landscape. Learners of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to apply for these opportunities. Selected students are housed on-site and receive instruction from renowned scholars and experts, as well as from OSGF staff. Students can expect engaging lectures, hands-on learning experiences, and stimulating conversations with classmates and instructors, all while enjoying our hospitality in a unique and beautiful rural location.

We host about 12 short courses annually, and each is announced about eight months in advance of the start date. Many courses are offered annually, but our roster of courses is always changing. To stay up to date with the latest information about our short courses and application deadlines, please sign up for our newsletter. You can also follow our social media accounts.

Below is a list of upcoming and past Short Courses, and a link to our Short Course Pre-Arrival Booklet. If you have any further questions about our short courses, please reach out to our Programs Team at programs@osgf.org.
