Students at University of Hawaii AgDiscovery

During this exciting 2-week program, students will explore career and educational opportunities in the plant and animal science fields, with presentations by USDA and the University of Hawaii and visits to local agribusinesses. Students will participate in a wide range of hands-on activities, such as pest identification, chocolate tasting, DNA barcoding, and plant inspections. 

Students will also get to experience Hawaiian culture by engaging in canoe paddling, lei making, and managing invasive species to protect the native ecosystem—all while absorbing college life in a tropical setting.

Founded in 1907 as a land-grant college, the University of Hawaii (UH) at Mānoa offers hundreds of undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees. Students and faculty come from across the Nation and the world to take advantage of UH Mānoa’s diversity and excellence in academics, unique research opportunities, athletics, community involvement, and breathtaking natural beauty. As one of only a handful of land-, sea-, and space-grant institutions, UH Mānoa’s strengths are in tropical agriculture; oceanography; astronomy; volcanology; and Hawaiian, Asian, and Pacific studies. UH Mānoa delivers a multicultural global experience in a Hawaiian place of learning, with a long history of adherence to the principles of sustainability and the essence of aloha.
