UH Hilo Agreements
Windward Community College (Windward CC) has a program-to-program articulation with UH Hilo for Astronomy and Geology, which spells out the requirements for Windward CC students who wish to earn a BS degree in either discipline from UH Hilo. For more information on which Windward CC classes will transfer directly into either the Astronomy BS degree program or the Geology BA and BS degree programs at UH Hilo, please contact a counselor.
In addition, a memorandum of understanding exists that provides for coordination and cooperation between UH Hilo and Windward CC for a Pre-Pharmacy Preferred Admissions Pathway that facilitates an efficient pathway preparing students who may be interested in the Doctor of Pharmacy ("Pharm.D.") degree at UH Hilo's Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy.
