History
The University of Hawai?i, Maui College was founded in 1931 as the Maui Vocational School. In 1958 its name was changed to Maui Technical School. The college was incorporated into the University of Hawai?i System on July 1, 1965 after the Hawai?i State Legislature enacted the Community College Act which established a statewide community college system under the UH System.
In 1966 its name was changed to Maui Community College after the UH Board of Regents authorized the college to confer degrees in Associates in Arts and Associates in Science.
In Spring of 2011, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Accreditation Board approved the name change from Maui Community College to University of Hawai?i Maui College. The name change provides a more accurate reflection of UH Maui College's three baccalaureate degrees.
