The UH system office reports today that UH Hilo’s opening fall enrollment increased to 3,608, a gain of 91 students, or 2.6 percent, compared to a year ago. The numbers extend a period of growth at UH Hilo dating back to 1997.

“We continue to be very excited with our enrollment growth, which has been consistently increasing over the last few years,” said Chancellor Tseng. “We offer many programs that are unique to UH Hilo, including our College of Pharmacy, which started its inaugural class this fall. Our infrastructure is also steadily increasing and undergoing improvements to handle this growth. All of this is a reflection of the quality of education our students receive at UH Hilo.”
