The A Semester Almost Abroad (ASAA) program provides students an opportunity to enhance their academic experience through the university's vast array of courses and experiences. Students may enroll in any available course offered at UH as long as they fulfill prerequisites although most take at least a few courses unavailable to them at their home colleges. Former students have enrolled in courses as diverse as Asian economics, Chinese and Japanese literatures, Hawaiian archeology, Indonesian dance, Korean language, marine biology, geology, as well as regular business, arts, and science courses.
