About This School
Pacific Rim Christian University is a private nonprofit institution located in Honolulu, Hawaii with approximately 129 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $23,151 per year. The graduation rate is 45%.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 86% freshman retention rate suggests students who enroll tend to feel connected, but only 52% actually graduate — meaning nearly half who start don't finish, which is a real concern worth asking the school about directly. On the financial side, the median debt of $13,616 at graduation is relatively low, which matters if you complete the degree, and the small 113-student enrollment means a tight-knit, personal environment rather than a traditional college experience. Worth considering if you're drawn to faith-based education in Honolulu and want small class sizes, but come prepared with questions about academic support and what's driving that graduation gap.
