OUR ACADEMIC QUALITY EXTENDS<br />
BEYOND THE CLASSROOM<br />
TWU students have the opportunity to learn and work<br />
with faculty members who pursue and apply research in<br />
their fields. Whether it’s developing programs to reduce<br />
violence against women, working with veterans and their<br />
families, expanding access for children with autism or<br />
identifying more effective ways to reduce cancer risks,<br />
research with TWU faculty will broaden your academic<br />
experience. twu.edu/experts<br />
