About the Early College
The Consortium
Mission of the PathwayThe UHWO ACM Early College Consortium’s Early College Pathway has been designed to support both the educational needs of our students, as well as the professional development of State of Hawai‘i Department of Education faculty who teach Creative Media classes. This twofold approach aims to reduce disparities in education, decrease levels of poverty, as well as cultivate the skills and traits necessary to developing a strong workforce on the west side of O‘ahu. The program also supports the State of Hawaii’s educational goal of seeing 55% of adults earning a college degree by the year 2025.
Goals of the Pathway
By utilizing the UH West O‘ahu Early College High School Program’s model, high school students who participate in the Ala Ika Holomua pathway will have an opportunity to fulfill their high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning college credits in Creative Media from the UH West O‘ahu. These high school students will also be granted provisional acceptance into the University. Successful completion of the program will not only guarantee admission into the UHWO ACM program, but also ensure that participating students will have already completed more than the first-year requirements for a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Media degree.
