Articulation Agreements and Active Transfer Relationships
between HTIC and other Colleges/Universities
Hawaii Tokai International College is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education. At the discretion of the receiving school, students may transfer credits to and from other accredited American colleges and universities. As these credits count toward the 4-year institution’s core requirements, after transferring, HTIC graduates can focus on courses that fulfill the requirements toward their major.
