Mission Statement

Pacific Womens College is an independent, private, distinct and unique institution of higher education offering single subject and interdisciplinary degrees in business, fine arts, education, and home and family management.

• Extending opportunities for learning to women, particularly in Hawaii, Polynesia, and the Pacific Rim through offering traditional degrees in non-traditional settings.
• Maintaining a commitment to encouraging critical thinking, responsible communication, mutual respect and cooperation between faculty and students.
• Encouraging women to make a significant contribution to local and global communities through a commitment to lifelong learning and service.
• Empowering women to choose and design a course of study that will benefit personal and professional development throughout life.
