Hawaii Pacific University
Hawaii Pacific University
Knowledge is more easily grasped when you receive a hands-on education. At Hawai‘i Pacific University, a deliberately intimate learning environment empowers you to get up-close and personal with the subjects you’re passionate about. Along with the sort of unmatched diversity that only exists at the intersection of East and West, of urban campus and island paradise, you’ll graduate both market- and world-ready. HPU is different, and inclusive. You will experience things here that you won’t experience anywhere else in the world. Get ready to make friends who are also excited about new experiences, people, and perspectives.
