Texas Woman’s University (TWU) is a public university that offers a comprehensive catalog of academic studies, including baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral degrees. Founded as the Girls Industrial College in 1901 by an act of the 27th Legislature, the institution became Texas Woman’s University in 1957 and began admitting men in 1972. Today, the institution has grown from a small college to a major university.  As the nation’s largest university system focused on women, Texas Woman’s University offers more than 60 degree programs in the liberal arts and sciences, nursing, health sciences, business, and education. Texas Woman’s is a proud member of the Women’s College Coalition, whose mission is to transform the world through the education and success of women and girls.

The university’s main campus consists of 270 acres in Denton, Texas, with additional health science focused campuses in Dallas and Houston. The three are joined by an e-learning campus offering innovative online degree programs. TWU’s student population has nearly doubled in recent decades, with more than 16,000 students currently enrolled—89% of which are women. TWU offers students the opportunity to learn from, and work with, faculty members who pursue leading research in their fields. With an 18-1 student to faculty ratio, there is plenty of one-on-one time with instructors to expand understanding. Students can extend their learning beyond the classroom at TWU with more than 125 student organizations and five sports that compete in NCAA Division II competition—including the national championship winning gymnastics team.  Opportunities for staying connected to TWU are plentiful for the more than 100,000 living alumni. TWU alumni can tap into the Pioneer Network, an online community, to connect with former classmates, mentor current students, and expand career connections.
