Brigham Young University Hawaii is a small, academically challenging university (approximately 2400 students) emphasizing the liberal arts together with professional programs in business, education and computer technologies. The University services an international student body: Approximately 50 percent of the students come from over 70 countries outside the United States, primarily from Asia and the Pacific. BYU-Hawaii is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Established in 1955 as the Church College of Hawaii (CCH), the campus is located in Laie, Hawaii, thirty-five miles from Honolulu. CCH's name was changed to Brigham Young University Hawaii in 1974, and today is part of the three-campus BYU system that includes BYU in Provo, UT and BYU Idaho in Rexburg, ID. BYU-Hawaii offers a unique environment that helps students enlarge the intellect, build personal character and faith in God, and live harmoniously among those whose cultures are different from their own. This leads students to a lifetime of learning and service in their careers, families, church, community and country. The academic curriculum emphasizes intercultural traditions, with 24 majors in business, technology, education, science, and the arts. A 17:1 student/faculty ratio gives students tremendous opportunities to learn from their professors. BYU-Hawaii is consistently ranked as a top-tier university by the prestigious news magazine, U.S. News and World Report.
