Texas Woman's University (TWU)
Texas Woman's University is a comprehensive public university, primarily
for women. TWU's main campus is located in Denton, a city of 67,000
located about 34 miles north of Dallas and Fort Worth, the nation's ninth
largest metropolitan area. The TWU Institute of Health Sciences Dallas and
Houston Centers (near Parkland and Presbyterian hospitals in Dallas, as
well as the Texas Medical Center in Houston) provide students with
practical clinical learning experiences. TWU enrolls almost 9,800
students. The university has more than 500 faculty members and 700 staff
at its four locations. Within TWU are three major academic divisions: the
University General Division, which includes the College of Arts and
Sciences, the School of Library and Information Studies and the College of
Education and Human Ecology; the Institute of Health Sciences, which
comprises the College of Health Sciences, the College of Nursing, the
School of Occupational Therapy and the School of Physical Therapy; and the
Graduate School, which administers programs in each of the other schools
and colleges. The university conducts an intensive English exchange
program for Japanese students from Mukogawa Women's University and Baiko
Jo Gakuin in Japan. TWU also participates in the "Partnership for
Peace" cooperative program with the U.S. Peace Corps, which permits
registered nurses to integrate their advanced degrees in nursing with
international experience.
