What are some good colleges on Oahu?

I'm interested in going to school in Hawaii, specifically on Oahu. Does anyone have recommendations for colleges there? Looking for something with a strong focus on environmental science, but I’m open to other programs as well.

Sure, there are a few colleges on Oahu you might want to look into.

First, the University of Hawaii at Manoa offers an Environmental Studies program wherein students are encouraged to study the environment from a holistic perspective including natural and social aspects. The program emphasizes not just the theory, but also the practical experience. They provide internships and other hands-on learning opportunities in local communities.

Another option to consider is Hawaii Pacific University. While they don't have a specific Environmental Science program, they do have a strong Marine Biology program. Given Hawaii's unique biodiversity and HPU's commitment to conservation, you could engage in some unique studies related to your areas of interest.

Another institution you might want to consider is Chaminade University. They offer an Environmental + Interior Design program, which might not be exactly what you're looking for, but might overlap with your interests, since principles of sustainability and respect for the environment are integrated into the curriculum.

Each of these universities has its unique character and strengths and could offer you a solid program in Environmental Sciences or related fields. It would be beneficial to explore each institution's specific offerings to better grasp which one aligns with your educational goals. Best of luck with your college search!
