Kapiolani Community College occupies a 44-acre campus on the slopes of Diamond Head crater in Honolulu, Hawaii, situated approximately three miles from Waikiki Beach. The college, established in 1946 as a technical school and later integrated into the University of Hawaii System, operates as an open-admission institution serving both local and international students. Known for its culinary arts program, which trains many of Hawaii's hospitality industry professionals, the college also maintains strong healthcare, STEM, and liberal arts programs. The campus features modern classroom facilities and specialized learning spaces, including professional-grade culinary kitchens, science laboratories, and a health technology clinical facility. Students commute to campus as KCC does not provide on-campus housing, though its location offers convenient access to urban amenities and public transportation.
