About
Located on Oahu’s North Shore and affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Brigham Young University-Hawaii is celebrated for having one of the most culturally diverse undergraduate student bodies in the nation, drawing heavily from the Asia-Pacific region. Academically, the university is recognized for strong programs in hospitality and tourism management, international business, Hawaiian and Pacific Island studies, and TESOL. Campus culture is defined by a shared, faith-centered Honor Code that fosters a tight-knit, wholesome, and cross-cultural community. A truly distinctive feature of the student experience is the university's close partnership with the adjacent Polynesian Cultural Center, where many students work to fund their education while sharing their native cultural traditions.
