Hawaiʻi Pacific University, commonly referred to as HPU, is a private, nonsectarian, coeducational university located in Honolulu and Kaneohe, in the U.S. state of Hawaii. Hawaiʻi Pacific University is the largest private university in the central Pacific, most noted for its diverse student body of nearly 7,000 students, representing nearly 80 countries. The school's largest academic programs are in Business Administration, Nursing, Diplomacy and Military Studies, Psychology and International Studies.
Hawaiʻi Pacific University has two main campuses in addition to an Oceanic Institute and Military programs.
