OASIS Programs
OASIS’s cohort programs provide holistic support for students at all entry points into UC San Diego. Across our programs, students benefit from direct access to professional staff, peer mentorship, community-building activities and events, academic support and access to financial resources and basic needs support.
Through participation in an OASIS program, students become part of a broad and inclusive community that values diverse lived experiences, perspectives, and pathways, while supporting students in developing the skills, confidence, and critical awareness needed to engage with the world and contribute positively to their communities.
If you are interested in joining one of our cohort programs, we encourage you to explore our programs below.
