Why study at Hawai'i Pacific University?

Hawai‘i Pacific University (HPU) is the largest private, non-profit university in the State of Hawai’i, U.S. and it is home to over 4,000 students from Hawai‘i, the mainland, and over 70 countries around the world. Fusing this unmatched cultural diversity with personal support and a deliberately intimate learning environment, HPU enables students to get up-close and personal with the subjects they’re most passionate about. And when they do, when they look closer, they are empowered to see further and to do more. It’s how we ensure our graduates enter a competitive global workplace market-ready.

In 2016, the Princeton Review named HPU a “Best in the West” university. That same year, The Chronicle of Higher Education named us the most diverse private nonprofit university in the nation. And in 2018, The New York Times listed us as one of the top 8% of private colleges in the nation for graduates’ income mobility; our students also enjoy the #1 Return on Investment on the Islands.

Undergraduate, graduate and study abroad programs

HPU offers over 40 undergraduate, graduate, Ph.D. and study abroad programs in the arts, sciences, education, business, communications and engineering. 

HPU’s student-centered education offers unparalleled opportunity in the middle of the Hawaiian archipelago. Diverse program offerings are taught by experts in the field, and provide unmatched hands-on training and research opportunity. HPU creates prepared professionals ready to take the forefront in a variety of roles at the crossroads of global society. In the College of Business for example, alums mentor and business partners in the surrounding Honolulu business community work with students on projects and assignments. The Oceanic Institute of Hawaii Pacific University (OI) has been a world leader in the advancement of sustainable aquaculture technologies and has contributed to a range of solutions to overcome current and emerging industry challenges. 

Campus and city

HPU’s centralized campus in downtown Honolulu and an Oceanic Institute bordering the Pacific Ocean, enable students to enjoy the best of both worlds, a vibrant, international city and a stunningly-beautiful, tropical setting. 

The Aloha Tower Marketplace (ATM) serves as an anchor for HPU in the center of Honolulu’s business district. ATM is a mixed-use facility that includes student housing, Welcome Center, Learning Commons, Faculty/Student Lounge, and a variety of restaurants, businesses, classrooms, and meeting rooms. The other two anchors of the downtown campus are the Pioneer Plaza and Waterfront Plaza, offering state of the art computer based classrooms along with classrooms and meeting spaces. Also available are study areas, group study rooms, computer workstations, and wireless Internet. The Tutoring and Testing Center provides free tutoring in all core subjects.

Cheapest universities in USA for international students

The cost of tuition and living expenses in the United States can be quite high, especially for international students who do not qualify for in-state tuition rates or financial aid. However, there are some universities that offer more affordable options for international students. Here are some of the cheapest universities in the United States for international students:

Brigham Young University - Hawaii
Fayetteville State University
Texas A&M International University
California State University - Channel Islands
Minot State University
The University of Texas - Permian Basin
Weber State University
The University of Texas - Rio Grande Valley
Mississippi Valley State University
South Texas College
These universities offer lower tuition rates and living expenses compared to many other universities in the United States. However, it's important to note that the cost of attending these universities may still be significant, and that each university has its own unique strengths and weaknesses. It's important for prospective students to do their own research and evaluate the costs and benefits of attending these universities before making a decision.
