Centrally located in Honolulu, Chaminade's peaceful hillside campus overlooks Diamond Head, Waikiki and the majestic Pacific Ocean. Ranked among the top three NCAA Division II colleges for diversity by U.S. News & World Report, the majority of students come from Hawaii, the Pacific Islands and West Coast. Chaminade University has established a reputation for educational excellence in a wonderfully multicultural setting. Chaminade's faculty is dedicated to enriching each student's experience, helping build communities through leadership and service. Intimate in size – with 2,000 students – but huge in heart and soul, Chaminade University students and faculty enjoy a spirit of Ohana (Hawaiian word for family), supporting each other and thereby ensuring future success.
Committed to Catholic, Marianist values and steeped in Liberal Arts traditions that reflect the changing nature of the work place, Chaminade offers a broad choice of academic majors in both liberal arts and professional degree programs. Located in a beautiful tropical setting, every student experiences and learns from the rich cultural diversity that Hawaii and our campus offer.
In 2025, Chaminade University will host the 42nd annual Southwest Maui Invitational from November 24-26, 2025. The Southwest Maui Invitational plays a crucial role in the school's visibility and fund-raising capabilities, as well as providing the direct financial support necessary to sustain the athletic department.
And, Chaminade University has proven itself to be far more than the little basketball team that could. Visit goswords.com for more information on Chaminade athletics.
