Hawaiʻiloa, distant Hawaiʻi, is a sacred name that connects us to our voyaging history, the knowledge, tenacity, and importance of our familial connections from antiquity. It is applicable to the aspirations of this cohort—to pull in our Hawaiians who have voyaged near and far from home and bind them back into the fabric of our people, culture and history through this educational endeavor.

Learn Hawaiian language, culture, and more,and earn a Hawaiian Studies AA degree in a series of 8-week classes online.
Native Hawaiians living on the mainland can get in-state tuition if eligible.
