Leeward Community College

Leeward Community College’s proven commitment to affordable, quality education is a foundation of our mission. As part of the University of Hawai‘i system, we are dedicated and responsive to our community, providing an open door to the world of educational opportunities. 

Located in Pearl City (Pu‘uloa) and Waianae, Hawai‘i, Leeward CC is a regional community center, creating both an environment for academic learning and a center of cultural life for our neighbors. From professional career studies to liberal arts, the College offers diverse and comprehensive opportunities for all students.

Leeward CC offers certificates and an AS degree in Sustainable Agriculture. Our classes are dynamic and applied to current issues related to tropical agriculture and island sustainability. We focus on sustainable agriculture practices that are science based, environmentally sound, and benefit our island community. We have a research and learning farm on campus that supports our classes by allowing students to learn hands-on with composting, vermicast, integrated pest management, and growing and eating amazing produce. We also have a large native plant garden and nursery that also serves those interested in native plant conservation.
