Mission of CCECS

The College of Continuing Education and Community Service (CCECS) serves as the outreach and extramural arm of the University. CCECS offers both credit and noncredit classes and programs in collaboration with UH Hilo’s colleges and schools, including English language skills for international students. CCECS credit programs are listed in the Undergraduate Education section of this catalog.

CCECS also provides continuing education outreach programs to the Hawaiʻi Island community both in the Hilo area and in North Hawaiʻi, through the North Hawaiʻi Education and Research Center (NHERC).
