Vision

Hawaii‘i Pacific University’s International Exchange and Study Abroad Program creates memorable and transforming global learning opportunities that enrich career preparation and foster commitments to global citizenship. The Program builds upon the University’s international context and challenging learning opportunities to support and inform students and faculty engaged in study and learning abroad. Comprehensive and responsive services address student and faculty interests and questions across the spectrum from planning a study abroad experience to engaging in a defined program, to returning and reintegrating into teaching and learning of the home school.
