Established as the Territorial Trade School in 1920, it wasn't until 1966 that Honolulu community college gained its name and status as a two-year institution authorized to award Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees. As a member of the University of Hawai'i Community College System, the school has grown into a comprehensive Community College offering students a variety of different learning opportunities.

Whether they're interested in certificate programs, associate degrees, or the ability to transfer credits to a traditional four-year college or university in Hawaiii, students will find the courses they need. From programs in computer science, astronomy, oceanography, political science, and anthropology, to courses in Asian studies, art, religion, music, and Hawaiin studies.

As the premier career and technical training center in Hawaii, Honolulu Community College offers certificate programs in fields such as administration of justice, fashion technology, Cosmetology, Aviation, communication arts, and auto body repair and painting.
