Big dreams on the Big Island

With classes in Hilo, Kona, and Honoka‘a, we cover a lot of ground, in more ways than one.

You know about our agriculture, auto body repair, and carpentry programs, but there’s so much more going on:

  • Marketing.
  • Hawaiian studies.
  • Fire science.
  • Culinary arts.
  • Architecture, engineering, and construction technologies.
  • Creative media.
  • Tropical forest ecosystem and agroforestry management.

And we’re not stopping there. We’re reaching into our communities to connect Hawai‘i Island’s people with Hawai‘i Island’s cultural, economic, and lifestyle needs. We’re connecting today’s students with tomorrow’s jobs.

It rains nearly every day here on our Hilo campus, and we love it. Rain makes things grow. Thank you for growing with us.
