University of Hawaii System

Encyclopedia Article

University of Hawaii System, system of state-supported universities in Hawaii, with ten campuses on the islands of Hawaii, Oahu, Maui, and Kauai. The system includes the main campus in Honolulu, the University of Hawaii at Manoa (founded in 1907); the University of Hawaii at Hilo (1970) in Hilo; and the University of Hawaii—West Oahu (1976) in Pearl City.

Seven community colleges affiliated with the university offer vocational training and liberal-arts programs. Because of its location in the Pacific Ocean and the nature of the islands, the University of Hawaii is particularly well known for its programs in Asian and Pacific studies, astronomy, oceanography, and volcanology.
