Kapi‘olani Community College is a public higher education institution located in Honolulu, Hawaii, offering programs in culinary arts, hospitality, health services, liberal arts, and business education. The college traces its roots to 1946, when it began as Kapi‘olani Technical School with a first program in food service and later added nursing, business education, and dental assisting. In 1965 it became part of the University of Hawai‘i open-door community college system and was renamed Kapi‘olani Community College, aligning with the UH system. The move created the Diamond Head campus on a 52-acre site, marking KCC as the first two-campus college within the UH system. It remains part of the University of Hawai‘i’s open-door community college network, delivering programs to residents in Honolulu and the surrounding region.
