The University of Hawaiʻi Maui College (UHMC) is a public college in Kahului, Hawaiʻi, United States. Located on the island of Maui, it is one of ten branches of the University of Hawaiʻi system and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $9,421/year net price and a modest $9,500 median debt at graduation, the cost is genuinely manageable, making this a reasonable stepping stone for students pursuing an associate degree or planning to transfer within the UH system. However, the 27% graduation rate and 50% freshman retention rate are real warning signs — most students who start here don't finish — and median earnings of $34,200 a decade out suggest limited long-term financial lift for those who do. Worth considering if you have a clear, specific program goal and a concrete transfer or career plan, but it demands more self-direction than most students realize going in.
