Hawai‘i Pacific University (HPU) has been offering voluntary education opportunities to the military since the mid 1970's on its main campuses and on Oahu military installations. HPU delivers its academic degree programs to all military service members, their families, Veterans, and U.S. Government civilian personnel. In addition, HPU's online programs provide the flexibility needed for the mobile military family and allows for accomplishing their voluntary education goals "anytime, anywhere." HPU is committed to providing our military community with a high quality education in a flexible, military friendly learning environment.
Did you know as an active duty servicemember as part of the Post 9/11 GI Bill, you can have 100% of your graduate tuition paid for. Visit the Military Financial Assistance for Online Degrees page to find out more.
"Having grown up in an Army family, serving and retiring in the Coast Guard myself, I understand the military mindset very well... and they understand mine. There is something profoundly American about our military students. All five branches of service send their people through similar initial training whether it's called boot camp or basic training, whether it's OCS or OTS, whether it's located at Annapolis or West Point. They're all cut from the same cloth—a red flag with white stripes and stars in a blue corner. And I am happy to meet them online or at the end of their long workday in order to contribute to their education and future opportunities."
