Texas Woman's University holds a notable position in higher education as the nation's largest university primarily for women and is federally recognized as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) with a diverse student body. Established in 1901, and currently home to nearly 16,000 students, TWU is a public university that emphasizes the liberal arts and sciences as well as specialized and professional studies in business, nursing, health sciences, and education.

TWU operates three campuses:
Houston, Dallas, and the main campus in Denton. The City of Denton, with a population of 150,000, is home to two universities, an active music scene, family friendly events and festivals, unique restaurants, and the historic Downtown Square. Denton is located just 40 miles north of the Dallas/Fort Worth city centers. This metroplex, the nation's fourth largest urban center, has world-class museums, orchestras, opera, ballet, and theatre companies, as well as an array of professional and collegiate sports venues.

TWU prides itself on providing students with a well-rounded educational experience focused on service, integrity, health, and well-being. Respect for diversity in all dimensions (currently ranked 5th in the nation for diversity) and a safe campus environment (Texas Woman's is among the safest campuses in the nation) are among the hallmarks of a TWU education. TWU faculty and staff are passionate defenders of a "learn by doing" experiential learning environment where they provide students with opportunities to engage in campus, workplace, and community activities that can help shape their sense of purpose, their appreciation for the importance of building quality personal and professional relationships, and their ability to address life's challenges.

This holistic, mentoring approach to developing students as engaged, productive citizens in the complex world of the 21st Century encompasses understanding of the balance of health, spiritual and mental well-being.
