//Institutional Capital// WASC Accreditation Report http://www.hawaii.edu/uhmfs/documents/wasc/teamreport.pdf http://manoa.hawaii.edu/wasc/proposal/Full_Proposal.pdf#page=1 Key Excerpts from WASC 2006 Institutional Proposal: A. Strengths - "Mānoa’s special distinction derives from its Hawaiian, Asian, and Pacific orientation and unique location. Together, these attributes foster unique opportunities for study in tropical agriculture, tropical medicine, marine sciences, astronomy, volcanology, botany, evolutionary biology, comparative philosophy, education, languages, urban planning, cultural studies in Pacific/Oceania, performing arts, second language studies, and international business. As evidence of the high level of scholarship at Mānoa, we have four faculty in the National Academy of Sciences (up from one in 2004), one member of the National Academy of Engineering, and our extramural funding places us in the top 25 of U.S. public institutions with annual extramural funding in excess of $400 million.

Nearly all of the units at Mānoa have developed strengths in Hawaiian, Asian, and Pacific studies, which have created an international reputation for the University. We are widely recognized as the best university in the U.S. in these areas, and we have recently been invited to become a Confucius Institute by the Chinese Ministry of Education. Mānoa also offers instruction in more Asia-Pacific languages than any other U.S. institution of higher learning and is home to five Title VI Centers: a National Foreign Language Resource Center, three National Resource Centers (East Asian, Pacific Islands, Southeast Asian), and a Center for International Business Education and Research. As a result, students are provided special opportunities for research, service learning, and co-curricular activities in Hawaiian, Asian, and Pacific studies, as well as unrivaled opportunities for investigating language acquisition and language use in diverse cultural settings. The beauty of the verdant Mānoa valley provides a backdrop for a unique and inviting campus, and Hawaiian, Asian, and Pacific traditions are well represented throughout the campus. An authentic Japanese tea house and garden grace the campus, as do a replica of a Korean king’s throne hall and a Hawaiian taro patch. Off-campus facilities include the Lyon Arboretum, the Waikīkī Aquarium, several marine facilities, numerous agricultural research centers and cooperative extension offices, and the world-famous telescopes atop Mauna Kea and Haleakalā" (1-2).
