The University of Hawai`i at Mānoa, founded as a land grant college under the terms of the Morrill Act of 1862 for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts in the United States, is the flagship institution of the University of Hawai`i system. The second largest institution is the University of Hawai`i at Hilo on the Big Island of Hawai`i. It teaches over 3,000 students. The smaller University of Hawai`i-West O`ahu in Pearl City primarily serves students who reside on Honolulu's western and central suburban communities.

The University of Hawai`i Community College system is comprised of four campuses on O`ahu and one each on Mau`i, Kaua`i, and Hawai`i. The schools were created to improve accessibility of courses to more Hawai`i residents and provide an affordable means of easing the transition from high school to college for many students. University of Hawai`i education centers are located in more remote areas of the state, supporting rural communities via distance education.
