Hawaii Pacific University (HPU) is a private, nonprofit institution founded in 1965. It is not funded by state or federal governments, relying instead on tuition, donations, and endowments.
HPU offers undergraduate and graduate programs across disciplines like business, health sciences, and liberal arts. With campuses in Honolulu and online, it serves a diverse student body, including international learners.
As a private university, HPU has greater autonomy in curriculum design and admissions policies compared to public institutions. Its tuition rates are typically higher, though financial aid options are available to eligible students.
