Role at UHM and the World
The Center for Philippine Studies (CPS) at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa plays an important role in promoting interest in the Philippines and Filipinos in the diaspora as an academic field of study. As such, it occupies a unique place in the university as it finds a niche in the world. Studying the Philippines and its people at UHM is fun. Find out why.
CPS was originally established as a Program in 1975 by an Act of the Hawai’i State Legislature to recognize the contributions of Filipinos to the history of Hawai’i and to highlight the academic expertise on the Philippines at the University of Hawai’i. Administratively, the Center is housed at the School of Pacific and Asian Studies (SPAS) of the College of Languages, Arts and Letters (CALL). It is the only such center in North America and an internationally recognized source of broad and specialized expertise on a country and people that have had long historical links with the US and the Asia-Pacific region.
