It was founded in 1977 and was initially known as the Kansai Gaidai Hawaii College, and the name was changed to TransPacific Hawaii College in 1998. The College closed its operation at the end of December 2008.

The accreditation agency's financial concern resulted in a Show-Cause status, and the College decided to cease the operation.
