Sample a graduate-level HPU course: Doing Business in Hawai’i

What does a graduate classroom actually feel like? Join Hawai’i Pacific University for a live session of BUS 5001: Ho’omakaukau, a course that welcomes incoming graduate business candidates, featuring our Doing Business in Hawai’i seminar. Open to the HPU community and anyone exploring a graduate program, no application required.

This session offers a condensed version of the Hawai’i Talent Onboarding Program (HITOP), featuring Nicole Lim (Executive Director, Movers and Shakas) and Hi’ilani Shibata (Native Hawaiian Cultural Practitioner & Educator), with historical and cultural context for understanding Hawai’i and practical guidance for navigating relationships, workplaces, and everyday life in the islands.

Stay after the session to meet current graduate students and ask questions about the program and admissions.
