History
The University of Hawaii at Mānoa was founded in 1907 as a land grant college of agriculture and mechanical arts.
In 1912 it was renamed the College of Hawaii and moved to its present location. William Kwai Fong Yap petitioned the territorial legislature six years later for university status which led to another renaming to the University of Hawai'i in 1920. This is also the founding year of the College of Arts and Sciences.
In 1931 the Territorial Normal and Training School was absorbed into the university. It is now the College of Education.
College
Today the primary facet of the university consists of the four Colleges of Arts and Sciences: Arts and Humanities, Languages Literatures and Linguistics, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences. The college of agriculture and mechanical arts is now the
College of Tropical Agriculture and Human ResourcesThe College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources , established in 1907, is the founding college of the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu, Hawai‘i...

Together, the colleges of the university offer bachelor degrees in 87 fields of study, master degrees in 87 fields, doctoral degrees in 53 fields, first professional degrees in three fields, post-baccalaureate degrees in three fields, 29 undergraduate certification programs and 26 graduate certification programs. Total enrollment as of 2006 was 20,357 students, 14,307 of which are undergraduates. There are approximately sixteen students per instructor.
Research
With extramural grants and contracts in excess of $300 million in 2002-03, UH-Manoa exploded in terms of research related to Hawaii's physical landscape, its people, and their heritage. The landscape facilitates advances in marine biology, oceanography, underwater robotic technology, astronomy, geology and geophysics, agriculture, aquaculture and tropical medicine. Its heritage, the people and its close ties to the Asian and Pacific region create a favorable environment for study and research in the arts, genetics, intercultural relations, linguistics, religion and philosophy.
Extramural funding increased from $211 million in FY 2002 to nearly $255 million in FY 2003. Research grants increased from $125 million in FY 2002 to $165 million in FY 2003. Nonresearch awards totaled $90 million in FY 2003. Overall, extramural funding has increased by 50% over the past ten years. Princeton Review and The National Science Foundation ranks UH Manoa in the top 30 public universities for federal research funding in engineering and science.
The School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) received the largest amount of extramural funding among the Manoa units at $60 million. SOEST was followed by the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) at $41 million, the College of Natural Sciences at $24 million, the Institute for Astronomy at $22 million, the Pacific Basin Research Center at $21 million, the College of Education at $19 million, and the Cancer Research Center of Hawai‘i at $18 million.
Systemwide, the majority of research funding comes from the Department of Defense, the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Commerce, and the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA). For nonresearch grants, the majority of funding comes from Hawai‘i government agencies, the Department of Education, the National Science Foundation, Hawai‘i health organizations, and NASA.
The new $150-million medical complex in the area of Kaka‘ako opened in the spring of 2005. The facility houses a state-of-the-art biomedical research and education center that attracts significant federal funding and private sector investment in biotechnology research and development.
UH Manoa is characterized by a wealth and variety of research projects. Research broadly conceived, is expected of every faculty member at UH Manoa. Also, according to the Carnegie Foundation, UH Manoa is an RU/VH (very high research activity) level research university.
