Pack your curiosity (and your swimsuit)
Hawaii is home to world-famous beaches, jaw-dropping rainforest hiking trails, and a rich cultural diversity. And with the Semester Study Away program at Chaminade University, Hawaii can be your home, too.
What is Chaminade’s Study Away program?
Our program gives you the chance to live and learn in the Aloha State for a once-in-a-lifetime educational journey. As a Study Away participant, you’ll gain new perspectives on the world by getting the chance to immerse yourself in the cultures and customs of Hawaii and the Pacific.
At Chaminade, we believe in the power of “learning by doing.” So our Study Away program is built around transformational experiences—hands-on projects meant to help you grow as a learner and as a leader. In Study Away, you’ll participate in excursions around Oahu, along with field experiences, research projects matched to your interests, and volunteering or internship opportunities.
Chaminade University ‘Ohana

You’ll have a chance to do all that (and more) in our Study Away program. Plus, you’ll join Chaminade’s tight-knit ‘ohana—or family—and contribute to our active and supportive learning community. In our program, you’ll have your pick of more than 400 course offerings, all with small class sizes, a dynamic residential and campus life, and faculty mentorships that will help you succeed.
So why Hawaii? Why not.
The best Study Away programs are designed to challenge and inspire you, offering you eye-opening experiences that have you seeing the world anew. At Chaminade, we do just that—giving you a chance to learn in a place like no other. So get packing! (And don’t forget your sunscreen.)
