Transition to a 4 yr. Comprehensive College
  • For more than 30 years UHWO was an upper-division
    institution.
  • In 2007, a lower division and general education
    curriculum was implemented with the enrollment of
    the Universitys inaugural freshmen class.
  • Responding to the increased student enrollment
    and demand following the admission of the first
    freshmen class, UHWO is in the process of
    transforming its academic programs.
  • Critical time for the University because it needs
    additional funding to aid in building the
    academic foundation of a four-year baccalaureate
    institution.
  • Development of new programs and majors through
    the establishment of new faculty and support
    staff to ensure the delivery of a broad-based,
    high quality baccalaureate education.

    who complete an Associate of Science degrees in
    selected fields.
  • This inverted degree program builds on the
    career and technical course credits earned from
    the UH Community Colleges.
  • The first articulation agreements are with
    Kapiolani Community College (Respiratory Care
    Culinary Management) and Honolulu Community

    to support the needs of the state-of-the-art,
    environmentally sustainable campus community.

Challenge
Building a four-year comprehensive institution
requires hiring of additional faculty and staff
and acquiring the proper resources to support a

of 1,000,000 in additional general funds to
supplement the current general budget, we will
be able to fulfill our needs and work towards a
strategic goal of investing in human and physical
resources for the new campus.
