Windward Community College is a public, co-educational college in K?ne?ohe CDP, City and County of Honolulu, in the U.S. state of Hawai?i on the island of O?ahu. It is one of ten campuses of the University of Hawai?i system and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
Created in 1972, Windward Community College primarily serves the windward Oahu region, offering college courses, non-credit classes, and community activities including an annual Ho?olaule?a, typically held in September or October.
Windward CC's strengths are in Hawaiian studies, natural sciences, fine arts, veterinary technology, and vocational training. Most of the college's students are from the windward side of O?ahu and transfer to 4-year colleges, including the University of Hawai?i at M?noa and Hawaii Pacific University. Key facilities include P?liku Theatre, the Imaginarium (a planetarium), and Gallery ?Iolani (an art gallery) and a new Library Learning Commons, which opened in 2012.
