Semester in Hawaii

Semester in Hawaii is located on the island of Oahu at Hawaii Pacific University, a private institution where nearly 30 percent of the 8,800-person student body comes from more than 100 countries. The educational experience builds upon this diversity by combining American educational traditions with global perspectives. It also stresses rigorous intellectual engagement, relevant career education, and social responsibility. You will have the benefit of learning in small classes averaging between 25 and 30 students. As a student you’ll be working directly with the professors and lecturers because there are no teaching assistants. [P] You will also benefit from having two campuses, linked together by a free shuttle. Attend the urban campus in downtown Honolulu or take classes at the Hawaii Loa campus, located on 135 lush, tropical acres just 15 minutes away from the city center.

You will find computer labs, libraries, tutoring services, wireless internet, laboratories, and communication facilities specially designed for students studying broadcasting, multimedia, or journalism.
