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/faculty-profiles<br />
HONORS SCHOLAR PROGRAM<br />
Honors Scholars have the opportunity to enhance their<br />
educational experience by taking honors coursework,<br />

communities, and have a strong track record of placement<br />
in prestigious graduate and professional programs,<br />
including TWU’s graduate school. twu.edu/honors<br />
