HPU is one of the most culturally diverse universities in America with students from all 50 states and more than 80 countries. Founded in 1965, HPU prides itself on maintaining strong academic programs, small class sizes, individual attention to students, and a diverse faculty and student population. HPU offers more than 50 acclaimed undergraduate programs and 14 distinguished graduate programs.

Hawai'i Pacific University is consistently ranked among the best institutions of high education in the nation. Hawai'i Pacific University is ranked among the top 50 private, comprehensive universities in the Western U.S. The U.S. News and World Report lists Hawai'i Pacific University in its Best Colleges guide, while Princeton Review recognized HPU in its Best Western College guide. Bloomberg Businessweek also rated HPU for having the "Best Undergraduate Return on Investment" among any College or University in the state of Hawai'i, based on tuition costs and earnings of alumni. HPU is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The Nursing program is approved by the Hawai'i Board of Nursing, and accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) and the Commissions on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The Social Work Program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), and the University is recognized by the Hawaii Commission on Postsecondary Education.

HPU is proud to offer more than 600 full and part-time faculty members from around the world with outstanding academic and business credentials. Faculty range from top-level executives at Fortune 500 companies, to state government leaders that enliven the learning experience with real-world knowledge. Our student-centered approach and low student-faculty ratio of 14:1 naturally results in personal attention and one-on-one guidance. HPU puts a priority on teaching. There are no teaching assistants; only highly qualified faculty in the classrooms. Even with more than 7,400 students, our average class size is under 20. This means you'll enjoy all of the technological and academic resources expected at a large university, delivered within the atmosphere of a small school.

The diversity of HPU's student body stimulates learning about other cultures firsthand, both inside and outside of the classroom. Students are encouraged to examine the values, customs, traditions, and principles of others to gain a clearer understanding of their own perspectives. HPU students develop friendships with students from throughout the world and form important connections for success in the global economy.

HPU has NCAA Division II intercollegiate sports. Men's athletic programs include baseball, basketball, cross-country, golf, soccer, and tennis. Women's athletics include basketball, cross-country, soccer, softball, tennis, golf, and volleyball. HPU's women's softball team as well as its cheerleading squad and dance team have received numerous national championship titles.

The housing office at HPU offers many services and living options for students. Residence halls with cafeteria service are available on the windward Hawai'i Loa campus, while off-campus apartments are available in the Honolulu and Waikiki areas for those seeking more independent living arrangements.
