The main Kahului campus and four education centers of the college offer degree and certificate programs, including several four-year degree courses.

UH Maui College is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and was founded in 1931 as the Maui Vocational School. The current name was given in 1966, when the college was authorized to grant associate degrees in Arts and Science.
