The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a> and Philippines-based Enderun Colleges<\/a> have established a partnership that gives Enderun students an opportunity to transfer and earn a bachelor\u2019s degree at 东精影业<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

Starting in 2026, qualifying Enderun Colleges students can articulate to 东精影业<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> for a two-year, in-person experience at the Kapolei campus that will expose them to Indigenous culture, place-based learning and a robust academic curriculum.<\/p>\n

The two institutions established a “2+2 Transfer and Articulation Program,” which allows Enderun Colleges students who fulfill a prescribed two-year course study guaranteed acceptance with junior standing to 东精影业<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span>\u2019s business administration<\/a> program (to earn a bachelor of arts in business administration with a concentration in general business administration<\/a>), or the creative media program (to earn a bachelor of arts in creative media with a concentration in general creative media<\/a>).<\/p>\n

“We are delighted to be partnering with Enderun Colleges,” said 东精影业<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> Chancellor Maenette Benham. “Their exceptional work in international hospitality management, specializing in hotel administration or culinary arts, aligns with our BA<\/abbr> (bachelor of arts) and BAS<\/abbr> (bachelor of applied science) degrees. The additional pathway into creative media will provide students with professional skills that will lead to bright career opportunities.”<\/p>\n

The partnership promotes international education, cultural exchange and collaboration in areas of common interest and benefit to both institutions. Enderun Colleges Chief Operations Officer Daniel Perez and Dean of the College of Architecture and Design Nikki Tayag visited 东精影业<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> on November 24. The visit included a tour of the campus, followed by a signing ceremony in which Perez, Benham and 东精影业<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Harald Barkhoff officially signed the transfer and articulation agreement.<\/p>\n

“This collaboration represents a significant step in global education, offering students the unparalleled opportunity to study in two different countries and at two esteemed institutions,” said Perez.<\/p>\n
