Mānoa Students

In Fall 2003, Mānoa enrolled 19,863 students: 13,292 undergraduates and 6,109 graduate students (including those enrolled in the School of Law, School of Medicine, and College of Education's post-baccalaureate certificate programs). Mānoa's students are from the major islands in Hawai'i (72.7%), the U.S. continent (15.8%), the U.S. possessions and throughout the world (11.5%). Overall, Mānoa's enrollment increased by 6.3% in 2002, and by 5% in 2003.

The majority of enrolled students were of Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry (57.3%), of which those of Japanese (20%) and Chinese (8.5%) ethnicities were the largest subgroups. Caucasians, the next largest group, comprised 24.4% of the student population.

First-time freshmen numbered 1,996 at Mānoa in Fall 2003. The mean high school grade-point-average of these students was 3.37 (on a 4.0 scale); their mean SAT (SAT-1) scores for verbal were 530, and 567 for math. Of first-time freshmen receiving a high school ranking, 26.1% were in the top ten percent of their graduating class, and 56.6% ranked in the top quartile. The majority of incoming freshmen are Hawai'i residents.

In Fall 2003, Mānoa enrolled 1,787 entering transfer students, of which 1,164 were from non-UH campuses, and 623 transferred from within the UH System. From within the UH System, the majority typically transfer from Kapi'olani Community College (nearly 40% in 2002) or Leeward Community College (nearly 25% in 2002).

In 2002, Student Housing Services provided on-campus housing to approximately 3,000 students in ten residence halls (eight traditional residence halls and two apartment complexes) in a variety of living arrangements of traditional coed, double occupancy, suites, single occupancy and apartments. Of this group, 34.8% were freshmen, 23.4% sophomore, 22.3% juniors, and 13.7% seniors. Graduate students comprised 2.2%. Additional housing is offered to graduate students through the East-West Center, which is adjacent to campus. Hawai'i residents comprise the majority of housing students, while over one third are from elsewhere in the U.S. or other countries.

Owing to a number of repair and maintenance concerns, some housing facilities remain closed. Mānoa has entered contracts with a few hotels in Waikīkī to provide additional housing during this period.
