About Us

As one of the largest divisions/departments in the University, or goal, nonetheless, is to provide our students and faculty a true feeling of a small Ohana (Hawaiian for family). Currently, we offer sixteen major and/or minor areas of study as well as two graduate level programs.

Our Mission

Our mission is to engage faculty and students in the quest for personal and social meaning as a basis for compassionate and just service to others. At the center of the University's Catholic, Marianist, and liberal arts tradition, we strive to form learning communities that focus on the development of moral character, historical, literary and aesthetic disciplines for understanding of self, others and God, while encouraging civic engagement and service to others.
