As a parent a high school sophomore, i want to learn about the university of Hawaii. He’s thinking about either math or accounting major. I’m also interested about the social atmosphere and social life.
Frequently Asked Questions
数学科では単なる計算能力だけでなく、論理の精度を高める「思考の地図」を手に入れることを重視しています。カリキュラムには代数学や幾何学、統計学などのフルスペックな科目が揃っており、特に「ライティング・インテンシブ（書くことに重点を置いた）コース」を通じて、複雑な思考を正確に他者に伝える表現力を徹底的に磨きます。これにより、卒業生はコンピュータサイエンス、ビジネス、経済、教育など、幅広い分野で活躍できる汎用的な思考力を習得できます。
マノア校の会計学はシドラー・カレッジ・オブ・ビジネス内にあり、研究の質で世界的に高く評価されています。特にアーカイバル・ファイナンシャル・アカウンティングの分野では、UCバークレーなどの名門校と並び世界75位にランクインしています。キャリア面では、ハワイの公認会計士の約半分が同校の卒業生であるほか、世界的な「ビッグ4」会計事務所への就職実績も豊富です。また、学部から修士課程までを効率的に修了できる「3/2プログラム」などの制度も充実しています。
キャンパスは「多様性の塊」と評され、全米でもトップクラスの多様性を誇ります。学生同士が助け合う「アロハ・スピリット」が根付いており、非常に温かく親しみやすい雰囲気です。週末は典型的なパーティー文化よりも、ビーチやボート、アウトドア活動を通じた交流が主流です。ただし、ホノルルという都市部に位置するため生活コストが高いことや、一部の寮や施設に古さが見られるといった現実的な側面も理解しておく必要があります。
学生の約7割が「教授は教えることに情熱を持っている」と回答しており、教育への熱意が高い環境です。数学科ではアドバイザーが毎日相談に乗る体制を整えており、会計学のシドラー校でも教員と学生の密なネットワーキングが重視されています。教授陣は研究に学生を巻き込んだり、インターンシップの橋渡しをしたりすることにも積極的で、学問的な指導と実社会への出口の両面から学生をサポートしています。
