Chaminade University of Honolulu is a private coeducational university in Honolulu, Hawai'i. Founded in 1955 by the Society of Mary, a Roman Catholic religious order also known as the Marianists, Chaminade is located in the historic Kaimuki district of Honolulu. It is near other notable Roman Catholic schools, Sacred Hearts Academy and Saint Louis School. Chaminade confers both bachelor's and master's degrees in the major arts and sciences subjects. The school specializes in business, communication, criminal justice, education, forensic science, interior design, and religious studies degree programs.
Chaminade University of Honolulu was named after Father William Joseph Chaminade, a French Catholic priest who survived persecution during the French Revolution. He founded the Society of Mary in 1817 . In 1849, Marianists sent missionaries to the United States to serve immigrant populations. In September 1883, eight Marianist priests arrived in Honolulu and established Saint Louis School, today a high school for boys. With the encouragement of Saint Louis alumni, the Marianists established a university to serve the educational needs of local Hawai'i Catholics. They opened Saint Louis Junior College in 1955. Upon becoming a four-year institution, the school changed its name to Chaminade College in 1957 . When graduate programs were added in 1977, Chaminade College changed its name to Chaminade University of Honolulu.
