The Student Achievement Measure is supported by six sponsoring associations, working together to provide a more comprehensive and accurate picture of student progress and completion as students move across institutions and state boundaries.

University of Hawaii at Hilo

UH Hilo is characterized as a comprehensive, regional university. Scholarship and research are an important part of faculty work and student engagement, but the primary focus is on providing high quality baccalaureate and limited postgraduate education. UH Hilo offers programs that take advantage of the unique physical and social characteristics of the island, attracting and serving Hawai'i Island students who are qualified for baccalaureate entry and seek opportunities for highly engaging and experiential learning. While UH Hilo actively recruits residents of Hawai‘i Island, its programs are also attractive to prospective students from other islands, the mainland U.S., and internationally.
