Hawaii Pacific University offers many courses. I am currently a freshman and this university is great on transitioning from high school to college. What's best about HPU is the class sizes. For most of the classes taught in HPU class sizes are around 25 students. Having such small classes gives a great teacher to student ratio. From this small class sizes you are more able to learn efficiently and ask the professors on one on one help. HPU provides tutoring both on campus and on-line.
