College of Tropical Agriculture and Human ResourcesUndergraduate ProgramsUndergraduate programs in CTAHR provide students with an opportunity to acquire those scientific, professional, and personal competencies emphasized by Hawai'i's business, governmental, community, and scientific leaders. The college provides a balance of educational experiences that include classroom instruction, laboratory sessions, co-curricular activities, supervised internships, and international study. Student exchange programs are also available for those desiring short term exposure to other institutions. Admission RequirementsStudents may enter CTAHR as freshmen or as transfer students from other departments or academic institutions.
