Shidler College of Business at University of Hawaii at Manoa

Established in 1949, the college was renamed to the Shidler College of Business in 2006 after alumnus Jay H. Shidler, founder and managing partner of The Shidler Group. In 2017, Mr. Shidler increased his gift to $228 million, making it the largest donation to the University of Hawai‘i from a private donor.

We are a community of scholars, learners, and practitioners. We value each other, our different cultures, our interactions, the knowledge we exchange, and a sense of belonging and mutual commitment. We create knowledge that informs our teaching and improves practice.

Our striving for excellence has propelled us to be a business school of choice with an Asia-Pacific focus. Knowledge seekers come to learn; employers seek our graduates; academics come to join in our research and training initiatives; and the broader community values our counsel.

The Career Services and Professional Development Office at the Shidler College of Business supports undergraduate and graduate students with their internship and career search. This office provides career-related internships to gain real world experience while earning academic credits. Through the internship program, students strengthen their employment opportunities in the marketplace after graduation and gain greater insight into the selection of a career path, and network with professionals in their chosen field.
