About
History
An act of the 27th Legislature in 1901 founded the Girls Industrial College as a public institution that would become Texas Woman's University in 1957. The school had then and has now a dual mission: to provide a liberal education and to prepare young women "for the practical industries of the age" with a specialized education.
Education
At TWU, you will learn from and work with faculty members who pursue leading research in their fields. Smaller class sizes mean you get more opportunities for one-on-one time with your instructors.
Research
Texas Woman’s University’s approach to research is unique. We focus on the changes that research can make in everyday lives– how community challenges can be addressed, business problems can be solved, and quality of life can be improved. In workplaces, hospitals, schools and communities, our research is put to practical use every day.
Career
We consider it a great compliment that you are interested in a career opportunity with TWU. With continuing growth and development on all three of our campuses, employment opportunities for Faculty and Staff positions are available in Denton (Main Campus), Dallas, and Houston.
