Texas Woman’s University occupies a notable position in higher education as the nation’s largest university primarily for women. Its four campuses in Denton, Dallas and Houston are joined by a fifth “e-Learning” campus that offers innovative online degree programs in business, education, and general studies. Six consecutive semesters of enrollment growth have produced a record enrollment of 11,353 students. TWU is connecting excellence to the real world by:

• Addressing the health care needs of Texans by opening a new Institute of Health Sciences – Houston Center in 2006 and planning for a new Institute of Health Sciences – Dallas Center to be built at TWU’s Parkland campus,
• Producing more new nurses and health care professionals than any other university in Texas,
• Helping ease the teacher shortage by placing highly qualified professionals where they’re needed most – in the classroom,
• Offering a liberal arts-based curriculum that prepares students for success in an increasingly global world and
• Conducting research that impacts the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity, osteoporosis, stroke and diabetes.
