Through the credit programs division of Outreach
College, credit courses and programs are offered during days and
evenings throughout the year including two terms of the summer session.
Offerings are regularly approved University of Hawai‘i at Manoa
courses as well as any new or experimental courses proposed by academic
units and approved by the University. In addition, the credit programs
unit coordinates all distance learning credit activity for the Manoa
campus, thus extending the resources of Manoa beyond the campus to the
neighbor islands and Pacific Basin.
The Maui Outreach Program offers courses that enable
students on Maui, Moloka‘i, and Lana‘i to complete the bachelor of
arts degree in liberal studies and to earn credits toward a bachelor of
education degree.
The Overseas Program provides credit courses for
individuals working in island communities in the Pacific Basin.
Credit special courses are tailored to meet the needs
of a target group; they may condense the work into shorter time periods
and adapt to special locations and more convenient hours.
Governmental internship programs are available to
full-time UH students who are interested in learning how the executive
and legislative branches of the Hawai’i state government function.
Summer Sessions (Credit)
The summer period of the University campus offers
opportunity for variety and flexibility in instructional programming,
while creating a culturally enriching and intellectually stimulating
campus environment through special lectures, conferences, and artistic
performances that are open to both students as well as the larger
public.
One of the special features of the summer sessions is that
students from almost every state in the nation and more than 50
countries attend classes in the summer, joining resident students to
enhance the diversity of the educational environment. The summer campus
also provides a stimulating array of public programs and special events.
An extensive schedule of lectures, films, performances, and other public
events is published in a special publication, Summer at Manoa which
is distributed without charge. To request a copy, write to Summer
Session, P.O. Box 11450 Dept. PG, Honolulu, HI 96828-0450, or visit or
call the Outreach College office.
Summer Session has received numerous awards from the
Western Association of Summer Session Administrators and the North
American Association of Administrators for its exemplary and innovative
programs.
Summer Campus
Summer Sessions are an integral part of the
educational program at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa. More than
70 percent of the summer student body is made up of Manoa campus
students continuing their studies. More than 1,200 graduate and
undergraduate courses ranging from standard courses offered every term
to innovative courses available only in the summer are offered both
during the day and evening. Summer Sessions consist of two six-week
terms between late May and early August. In addition, special courses,
workshops, seminars, institutes, conferences, intern-ships, and field
studies are offered with schedules of varying length to accommodate
different needs.
Students attend Summer Sessions for many reasons. Some
students make up courses, complete requirements, accelerate their
progress toward a degree, or take advantage of courses not available
during the rest of the year. Other students enroll in courses to explore
special subjects outside their major fields of study, for personal
enrichment, or for professional preparation or advancement. Still other
students are attracted by the opportunity to study with outstanding
visiting professors who come from all over the country and the world to
teach the Summer Sessions.
A preliminary announcement of courses is available in
December on the World Wide Web to help students plan their summer
program. In late March, the free comprehensive Summer Sessions Catalog
with complete course and program information and registration and
housing forms is mailed. To request a copy of the catalog, please write
to Outreach College, P.O. Box 11450, Honolulu, HI 96828-0450, visit or
call the Outreach College Office, or check the Outreach College Web
site.
