HAWAIIAN STUDIES & LANGUAGE DEGREES

OUR MISSION & VISION

 Hawaiian Studies Mission

The Associate in Arts in Hawaiian Studies (AAHS) provides a focused pathway for students pursuing an AA degree and transferring to a Hawaiian Studies, Hawaiian Language or other baccalaureate degree program within the University of Hawaiʻi (UH) system. The AAHS also provides students with beneficial qualifications for Hawaiʻi’s workforce, where knowledge of the host culture or alternative approaches to problem-solving are desirable. Current UH System articulation policies allow students who have completed this degree at any of the community colleges to meet the general education core requirements at any of the four-year UH institutions.
