University of Hawaiʻi<\/span>—West Oʻahu<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span>–West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a> has partnered with the EIKEN Foundation of Japan<\/a> and will now accept EIKEN results as evidence of English proficiency. This partnership will allow all University of Hawaiʻi<\/span><\/a> campuses to now accept the EIKEN test for admission purposes, making it the first statewide system of higher education in the nation to use the EIKEN test systemwide.<\/p>\n

“Our use of the EIKEN test and present and future cooperative partnerships with the EIKEN Foundation of Japan will benefit 糖心视频<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span>’s efforts at internationalizing the campus and connecting our Hawaiʻi<\/span> students to the world,” 糖心视频<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span> Chancellor Maenette Benham<\/a><\/strong> said.<\/p>\n

“This important step will strengthen what are already extraordinary ties between the 糖心视频<\/abbr> System and the country and people of Japan,” 糖心视频<\/abbr> President David Lassner<\/a><\/strong> said.<\/p>\n

The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> has long been a major destination for Japanese students: 糖心视频<\/abbr> M\u0101noa has more graduate students from Japan than any other university in the U.S., and Kapiʻolani<\/span> Community College has more undergraduate students from Japan than any institution in the nation.<\/p>\n

More about the EIKEN tests<\/h2>\n
