About This School
Texas Woman's University is a public institution located in Denton, Texas with approximately 8,767 undergraduate students enrolled. Texas Woman's University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 96%. The average net price after financial aid is $11,963 per year. The graduation rate is 49%, and the typical graduate earns $49,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
Texas Woman's University (TWU) is a public coeducational research university in Denton, Texas, United States. It also has two health science campuses in Dallas and Houston. While TWU has been fully co-educational since 1994, it is the largest state-supported university primarily for women in the United States. The university is part of the Texas Woman's University System. It offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in 60 areas of study across six colleges. The university is classified among "R2: High Research Spending and Doctorate Production".
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at roughly $11,000/year net price and only $14,000 in median debt at graduation, TWU is one of the more affordable paths to a degree in Texas, and its strengths in health sciences make it a legitimate option for students eyeing nursing, occupational therapy, or similar fields. The concern worth taking seriously is the 44% graduation rate — fewer than half of students who start here finish, which signals real obstacles around completion, whether financial, academic, or life-related. Worth considering if you have a clear health or education-focused major and a plan to stay on track, but go in with eyes open about that retention risk.
