Honolulu Community College

Honolulu Community College, located in downtown Honolulu on the island of Oahu, serves as one of the ten campuses within the University of Hawaii system. The urban campus spans 20 acres and operates additional training facilities at Honolulu International Airport and Sand Island for its transportation and trades programs. Established in 1920 as the Territorial Trade School, the institution has evolved to offer a comprehensive range of technical-vocational and liberal arts programs, with particular strengths in transportation technologies, construction trades, and information technology. The college maintains strong connections with local industries and provides both certificate and associate degree programs designed to prepare students for immediate employment or transfer to four-year institutions. While primarily serving commuter students, the college offers no on-campus housing but provides essential student services and facilities including a modern library, computer labs, and technical training workshops.
