About the Graduate School
TWU is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award baccalaureate, master's and doctoral degrees. Over 5,700 graduate students are enrolled at TWU in 66 master's and 23 doctoral programs of study.
Graduate study began at Texas Woman's University in 1930, and since 1952 the Graduate School has operated as a unit under its own Dean and Graduate Council. Doctoral degrees were first awarded at the University in 1953.
"I researched several graduate schools before deciding on TWU. The quality academic programs, knowledgeable and conscientious professors and supportive learning environment made TWU a great fit for me."
