TransPacific Hawai'i College, located oceanside in a Honolulu residential community, offers a liberal arts curriculum with an emphasis on courses which provide students a bridge between the Eastern and Western philosophies, cultures, languages, and social structures. The faculty and administration are dedicated to the development of a global student.
Global students are students with heightened cultural and global awareness.
Through the study of culture and by living abroad and acquiring foreign language competency, students come to recognize and appreciate the diversity of cultures and commonality of human interests. Through interdisciplinary studies they also come to understand our increasingly interdependent world and its urgent global issues. It is the college's conviction that such heightened cultural and global awareness will enable students to think critically and act responsibly. Students enroll in a seven month intensive English as a Second Language Program followed by an Associate in Arts Degree program of five sessions. During the Intensive English Program students will acquire advanced skills in Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking.
