Start your journey of discovery with the 2018 Winter/Spring Catalog

2018 Spring Continuing Studies catalog cover

The 2018 Winter/Spring Catalog from University of Wisconsin-Madison Continuing Studies is a listing of nearly 200 courses for personal enrichment and professional development. But to some, it’s much more than that. It’s a map for a journey of discovery.

Do you want to take up a musical instrument? Learn to paint? Try out modern dance? The catalog can point you in these directions and many more.

Do you want to master workplace skills to advance in your current job or find a new career? The catalog can provide a starting point.

The Winter/Spring Catalog is available online and in the Nov. 30 edition of the Wisconsin State Journal and Isthmus, featuring affordable face-to-face courses, online courses, workshops, and lectures for learners of all kinds. For adventurous types, it also contains a wide range of courses on the theme of “Journeys and Discoveries.” You can learn all about evolution and scientific exploration, or you can do the exploring yourself on educational trips to Scotland and Tanzania.

If you’re feeling lucky, you can enter the catalog’s Lifelong Learning Giveaway by Dec. 29, 2017, for a chance to win a two-night stay at the UW Lowell Center and up to $200 off a Continuing Studies course. Four runner-ups will also win up to $200 off a Continuing Studies course. Course prices start at $45; the randomly selected winners will be notified no later than Jan. 31, 2018.
