Colleges of Arts and Sciences

Undergraduate Programs

The Colleges of Arts and Sciences (A&S) offer bachelor of arts (BA), bachelor of fine arts (BFA), bachelor of music (BMus), and bachelor of science (BS) degrees in more than 40 different majors. In addition, the Colleges of Arts and Sciences offer over 25 minors and almost 40 different certificates. Degrees include electives in which a student may explore other academic interests or develop transferable liberal arts skills. Detailed program information is available at the Student Academic Services office (QLC 113) or at www.advising.hawaii.edu/artsci.

During their first year at UH Manoa, A&S students should meet with advisors both in the A&S Student Academic Services office and in their major departments to discuss their educational plans.

Students interested in an A&S major should declare their major at least by the end of their sophomore year by submitting a Declaration of Major form to the A&S Student Academic Services office. Some majors, such as those in the performing arts and the sciences, should be declared as soon as possible, preferably during the freshman year, because they require courses that must be taken in a specific order. Information on specific majors, minors, and certificates is available through the respective academic departments and their websites.

Admission Requirements

Admission requirements for the Colleges of Arts and Sciences are the same as those for UH Manoa.

Some majors, however, have specific admission requirements (see department’s sections).
