Chaminade University

Chaminade University, the only Catholic university in Hawaii, provides a rich educational experience. Chaminade is a place where people grow: professionally, intellectually, spiritually.

Chaminade University of Honolulu was named after Father William Joseph Chaminade, a French Catholic priest who survived persecution during the French Revolution. He founded the Society of Mary in 1817. In 1849, Marianists sent missionaries to the United States to serve immigrant populations. In September 1883, eight Marianist priests arrived in Honolulu and established Saint Louis School, today a high school for boys. With the encouragement of Saint Louis alumni, the Marianists established a university to serve the educational needs of local Hawai’i Catholics.

The Nursing Program was approved by the Hawai’i State Board of Nursing in March 2010. Named the Sallie Y. Miyawaki School of Nursing, Chaminade’s four-year program will provide a contemporary curriculum characterized by sophisticated, simulated patient care experiences, informatics, genomics and cultural competency.
