THIS IS
CHAMINADE UNIVERSITY
Chaminade University is more than a place to earn a degree—it’s where you discover who you are, what matters most, and the future you want to create.
Here, learning is personal. Community is real. And every experience, from the classroom to the lo‘i kalo (taro patch), shapes your story.
Rooted in Catholic Marianist faith and values, Chaminade is a welcoming community where your individuality is valued and service to others is a part of how we learn and live.
This is where you’ll be challenged and empowered to become a changemaker—with support every step of the way.
