In fact, life on the HPU campus owes much of its ambience to the Honolulu community. With a population of 750,000, Honolulu is a large and modern city, but still retains all the small town advantages. Hawai‘i Pacific University’s location provides easy access to the social and cultural excitement of the waterfront, the solitude of the Ko‘olau Mountains, and the beauty and fun of Hawai‘i’s beaches. h t t p : / / w w w. h p u . e d u / m a o c

Or they may be change agents such as consultants, trainers, OD specialists, and other professionals building their expertise in creating changes.

A third possible reason for students entering the MA/OC program may be to prepare for a doctoral program in social science, management, organizational development and change, or other related areas. Regardless of the motivation, students in the MA/OC program are provided a globally appropriate education that will be of great value to them in their future endeavors.

In addition to the traditional in-class format, Hawai‘i Pacific University’s Master of Arts in Organizational Change curriculum is alternatively available in a distance learning, online-based format.

LOCATIONS: Hawai'i Pacific University combines the excitement of an urban downtown campus with the serenity of a traditional campus. The main campus is located in downtown Honolulu, the business and financial center of the Pacific. Eight miles away, situated on 135 acres in Kane'ohe, the Hawai'i Loa campus is the site of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences and the College of Natural and Computational Sciences. HPU is also affiliated with the Oceanic Institute, a 56-acre aquaculture research facility at Makapu'u Point, which offers students research and hands-on opportunities. These three distinctive sites are conveniently linked by shuttle.
