STUDENT INFORMATION LINKS

The University

The University was founded in 1907 as the land-grant institution of Hawaii. It is well known for its research in tropical agriculture and resource management. Full-time enrollment at the Manoa campus numbers close to 19,000 students. Master's degrees are given in 62 fields and doctoral degrees in 32 fields. The University ranks among the top American institutions of higher education in the number of foreign scholars on its staff and foreign students enrolled. Among the state land-grant universities in the United States, the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR) is the only one located in the tropics. CTAHR's programs capitalize on these unique conditions and the work of its faculty is nationally and internationally respected.

The Community

Honolulu is a city of about 800,000 people situated on the island of Oahu. It is the capital of the state and the crossroads of the Pacific, a status which confers the advantage of having many international experts in residence or visiting the University. It is renowned for its moderate climate (mean annual temperature 75 °F, (24 °C) with little variation in summer or winter) and its cosmopolitan population. The University is in Manoa Valley, a residential section close to the heart of metropolitan Honolulu and Waikiki Beach. Easy access to the commercial, cultural, and political center of Hawaii is an extra benefit for students.
