Ventures programs are non-credit professional and workforce training programs offered through Texas Woman’s University (TWU), either independently or in collaboration with external organizations.

Program structure and partner roles vary by offering. Depending on the program, TWU may provide program administration and institutional oversight, while an approved third-party partner may deliver instruction, student support services, or payment processing. Participation in certain programs may require students to agree to separate terms or agreements directly with the partner organization. TWU is not a party to any such agreement.

TWU does not guarantee the performance of any partner and is not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party partners or for obligations arising under any separate agreement between a student and a partner.
