Hawaiʻi Pacific University (also known as HPU) is a private coeducational university in Honolulu, Hawaii, founded in 1965 as Hawaii Pacific College by Paul C.T. Hawaiʻi Pacific University is the largest private university in the central Pacific, most noted for its diverse student body of almost 9,000 students, representing over 190 countries. This campus was originally built by Hawaiʻi Loa College, a liberal arts school that was purchased by Hawaiʻi Pacific University in 1992. The state of Hawaiʻi granted a charter of incorporation to Hawaiʻi Pacific on September 17, 1965. In September of 1966, Honolulu Christian College merged into Hawaiʻi Pacific College, and a new charter was granted by the state of Hawaiʻi. In 1972, Hawaiʻi Pacific College graduated seven students in its first commencement class and in the same year established a School of Business Administration. Augmenting its thriving undergraduate program of baccalaureate and associate degrees, Hawaiʻi Pacific successfully launched a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program in 1986, a Master of Science in Information Systems (M.S.I.S.) program in 1989, and a Master of Arts in Human Resource Management in 1991. Hawaiʻi Pacific continued to expand and develop throughout the 1980s, and in 1990 became Hawaiʻi Pacific University (HPU). In 1992, Hawaiʻi Loa College, a small, independent, liberal arts college located on the windward side of Oʻahu, merged into Hawaiʻi Pacific University. This historic merger has brought together the strength of two academically strong institutions, and has helped to expand Hawaiʻi Pacific University’s role as a leader in higher education for the state of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific Basin.
