Kapiolani Community College
About
Situated on the scenic slopes of Diamond Head (Lē‘ahi) in Honolulu, Kapiʻolani Community College (KCC) is nationally recognized for its premier culinary arts program—anchored by the world-class Culinary Institute of the Pacific—as well as its highly competitive nursing and health sciences degrees. The campus culture is defined by a warm, welcoming community deeply rooted in Native Hawaiian values like *mālama* (stewardship), offering students a vibrant, diverse peer experience alongside breathtaking views of Oahu's south shore. A major distinctive advantage for prospective students is KCC's Kaʻieʻie dual-enrollment partnership, which provides a seamless, structured pathway for transferring directly to the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa to complete a four-year degree.
