As President of the University of Hawai‘i and Provost of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, we are proud to present to you the 2024-2025 General Catalog. It will help you learn more about the nation’s most remarkable public institution of higher education so that you can plan the best academic journey for you.

UH Mānoa is one of the world’s great research universities, situated in the middle of the Pacific where East meets West. We are proud of our well-deserved reputation as a global research leader internationally recognized for discovery and innovation in all aspects of land, sea, space, and sky. And there is no better place to study the languages and cultures of the Asia-Pacific region. 

Our students are deeply engaged as they learn and discover, developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will enhance their lives and communities. Students are imbued with a global sense of citizenship as they study on a campus grounded in the traditional values and wisdom of the Native Hawaiians who lived sustainably across these islands for centuries. 

Commence your visit to UH Mānoa by reviewing this updated Catalog, which provides general information on our colleges, schools, programs, courses, student life, and campus community. Here you can peruse our academic programs and get to know many dedicated individuals who are united by our commitment to provide high-quality undergraduate and graduate education across a broad range of fields of study with faculty who are engaged in world-class research and scholarship addressing the challenges and opportunities that face Hawai‘i and the world.
