Mixed in among beautiful scenery and picture-perfect beaches, the University of Hawaii system features campuses on Hilo, Oahu, and Maui. The system’s flagship campus, the University of Hawaii at Manoa, is one of only four universities nationwide to participate in the sea-grant, space-grant, and sun-grant research consortia simultaneously. Reflective of its culture and history, the state is also home to the World Medicine Institute (WMI) and Institute for Clinical Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (ICAOM), which both offer accredited degrees in acupuncture and oriental medicine.
Net cost: The median annual cost of all students that receive any aid. This does not refer to the “sticker price”, the price listed by the college.
Earnings: The median earnings of all bachelor-level students 10 years after enrollment. This includes both students that do and do not graduate, across all majors.
