About

Nestled at the base of the majestic Koʻolau Range in Kāneʻohe, Windward Community College is highly regarded for its deep integration of Native Hawaiian culture and its standout academic tracks, including Hawaii's only Veterinary Technology degree and a unique certificate in Agripharmatech. The campus culture is defined by a supportive, close-knit *ʻohana* (family) spirit, offering students a welcoming environment with small class sizes, active student clubs, and a vibrant arts scene anchored by the Palikū Theatre. What truly sets this campus apart are its exceptional hands-on facilities, such as the Hokulani Imaginarium planetarium and specialized bioprocessing labs, which provide undergraduate research opportunities rarely found at the associate degree level.
