EnglishHow to Find Degrees, Programs, and Admissions on the University of Hawaii System Website
Updated
The University of Hawaii System website (hawaii.edu) is the system-level hub for exploring degrees, programs, and admissions across its ten campuses. From the homepage, the main navigation includes direct entry points labeled DEGREES & PROGRAMS, APPLY, and FINANCIAL AID. Use these as starting points, then expect to move to a specific campus or program page for exact requirements and deadlines, since the system site aggregates information rather than serving as a single catalog for every course.
Start With the System-Level Navigation
The homepage presents a set of primary actions under headings such as "Find Your Place":
- DEGREES & PROGRAMS — browse fields of study and program areas
- APPLY — begin the admissions process
- FINANCIAL AID — find aid-related information
- MAKE A GIFT — support the university (not an admissions resource)
These links are the fastest way to orient yourself before narrowing to a campus.
Understand What the System Site Covers
The University of Hawaii System comprises ten campuses, listed on the site as:
| Campus |
|---|
| UH Mānoa |
| UH Hilo |
| UH West Oʻahu |
| Hawaiʻi CC |
| Honolulu CC |
| Kapiʻolani CC |
| Kauaʻi CC |
| Leeward CC |
| UH Maui College |
| Windward CC |
The system-level pages summarize degree and program directions across these campuses. They are not a complete course catalog for any single campus. For a specific major, minor, or certificate, you will generally need to go to the individual campus or department page.
Find Degrees and Programs
- Open the DEGREES & PROGRAMS entry from the homepage navigation.
- Browse by field of study or program area to see what the system offers.
- Note which campus or campuses offer the program you want.
- Follow through to that campus's page for the full program description, degree requirements, and course listings.
If you already know your target campus, going directly to that campus site can be faster than starting from the system level.
Apply and Check Admissions Requirements
The APPLY link leads to the admissions starting point. Keep in mind:
- Admission requirements, deadlines, and application steps are set by the individual campus or program, not uniformly by the system.
- Competitive or specialized programs may have additional materials, portfolios, or earlier deadlines.
- Always confirm details on the page of the campus or department you are applying to.
Financial Aid
FINANCIAL AID is available as a system-level entry point. However, eligibility rules and the exact application process can differ by campus. Treat the system page as an overview and verify specifics with your target campus's financial aid office.
Quick Reference
| What you need | Where to start | Where to confirm details |
|---|---|---|
| Fields of study | DEGREES & PROGRAMS | Specific campus/department page |
| How to apply | APPLY | Target campus admissions page |
| Aid options | FINANCIAL AID | Target campus financial aid office |
| Campus list | Homepage campus section | Individual campus site |
The system site is best used as a map: it shows you what exists and where, while the campuses and departments hold the authoritative requirements you must meet.
