Why Texas Woman’s?<br />
Quality<br />
Since its founding more than a century ago,<br />
Texas Woman’s has become known for its<br />
contributions and leadership in the fields of<br />
nursing, education, physical therapy, occupational<br />
therapy, biology, kinesiology, nutrition, the arts<br />
and sciences, and business.<br />
Location<br />
Our booming North Texas location in the college<br />
town of Denton — just 40 miles from Dallas<br />
and Fort Worth — assures our students easy<br />
access to arts, culture and career possibilities.<br />
TWU also offers a variety of online courses for<br />
self-disciplined students who enjoy working<br />
independently.<br />
Value<br />
TWU is a public university offering the student<br />
support and small class sizes traditionally<br />
expected at a private university.<br />
Culture<br />
As the nation’s largest public university system<br />
primarily for women, Texas Woman’s prides itself<br />
on providing women and men with a quality and<br />
well-rounded educational experience focused<br />
on service, health and well-being, and integrity.<br />
Respect for diversity in all aspects of life and a<br />
safe campus environment are the hallmarks of a<br />
TWU education.<br />
Our Campuses<br />
TWU’s 270-acre main campus in Denton is the<br />
starting point for most students. Our health<br />
sciences centers in Dallas and Houston offer<br />
mostly graduate programs with a health care<br />
focus. Denton also is named a best college town<br />
in Texas by BestColleges.com.
