Texas Woman's University occupies a notable position in higher education as the nation's largest university primarily for women. Its four campuses in Denton, Dallas, and Houston are joined by a fifth eLearning campus that offers innovative online degree programs in business, education, health studies, and general studies.  even consecutive semesters of enrollment growth have produced a record enrollment of 13,338 students. Texas Woman's University connected excellence in the real world by addressing the health care needs of Texans when it opened a new institute of Health Sciences in Houston in 2006. We are currently building a new institute of Health Sciences in Dallas at Texas Woman's University's Parkland campus. 

An act of the 27^th legislature in 1901 founded the Girls Industrial College, the school that would become Texas Woman's University in 1957.  The Texas 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.

Texas Woman's University today offers a comprehensive catalog of academic studies, including baccalaureate, graduate, and doctoral degrees. Now in its tenth decade, the University has grown from a small Texas school to a major university. Texas Woman's University is the largest university primarily for women in the United States, with the main campus in Denton and health science centers in Dallas and Houston.
