Ka’ie’ie is a dual admission, dual-enrollment program focused on students’ successfully completing their degrees. As a Ka’ie’ie student, you are admitted to the University of Hawai’i at Manoa and take all your courses at Kapi’olani Community College until you are ready to transfer smoothly and successfully to UHM. Ka’ie’ie students will easily be able to access resources and academic advising at both institutions.

The main goal of Ka’ie’ie is to help students graduate with a bachelor’s degree within as close as possible to a total of four years (or the equivalent in part-time attendance).
