The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo or UHH is one of ten branches of the University of Hawaiʻi system anchored by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo is a public, co-educational university located in Hilo CDP,[1] Hawaiʻi County. It was founded as Hawaiʻi Vocational College (Hawaiʻi College) in 1941. In 1970 it was reorganized into its present unit by an act of the Hawaiʻi State Legislature. The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo primarily serves residents of Hawaiʻi but also enjoys a considerable international student body. It offers 33 undergraduate and three graduate degree programs for an average of 3,045 students served each year. It is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. [edit] AcademicsThe university's curriculum is especially strong in marine biology, volcanology, astronomy, and Hawaiian studies. One of its three graduate programs, the Masters of Arts in Hawaiian Language and Literature, is distinguished for being the first in the United States to focus on an indigenous language.

[edit] Research at UH Hilo[edit] AthleticsUH Hilo sponsors ten intercolligiate athletic programs as a member of the NCAA. Until 1994 UH Hilo belonged to the NAIA. The teams are known as the Vulcans. The team colors are red, white, and navy blue. Principal sports venues are the new UH Hilo gymnasium, the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium, Dr. Francis Wong Stadium, UH Hilo Tennis courts, and UH Hilo Softball field. In 2006 the University added men's and women's soccer and women's basketball to the program. [2]

[edit] GrowthIn recent years, the Hilo campus has seen a growth in enrollment. In the past seven years, enrollment has increased 30 percent. In addition, federal financing has grown by more than 500 percent, in addition to new buildings for the campus's marine science and volcanology programs. [edit] "Hawaiʻi State University?"There has been a growing movement throughout the last decade to separate the Hilo campus from the University of Hawaiʻi system, creating a "Hawaiʻi State University". Supporters of the separation argue that the growing Hilo campus is "shortchanged" by its sister campus in Mānoa and that being independent of the system would allow the college to grow faster, better serve the community, and draw in more money from independent sources. Opponents argue that the state is too small for competing university systems and that financial divisions between Mānoa and Hilo are fair, given that Mānoa places emphasis on research and Hilo places emphasis on teaching. There are also concerns that this movement will hurt relationships between the Hilo campus and the rest of the University of Hawaiʻi system. A bill was introduced in the 2005 session of the House of Representatives of the Hawaiʻi State Legislature to draft legislation to spin off the Hilo campus as the independent Hawaiʻi State University. The bill was approved by the House Higher Education Committee but no hearing on the bill was planned by the House Finance Committee, effectively killing it.
