• History & Memorable Moments

Texas Woman's University was originally established in 1901 by an act of the Texas Legislature as the Girls Industrial College, opening its doors in 1903 and conferring its first degrees in 1904. The college changed its name in 1905 to the College of Industrial Arts and Sciences (CIA) and offered programs in a variety of liberal arts, fine arts, and science programs. The school underwent another name change in 1934 to the Texas State College for Women (TSCW) to reflect its growing reputation as a premiere institution of higher education for women in the state. In 1950, TSCW became the first nationally accredited nursing program in the state, and in 1956 pioneered the first building dedicated to the instruction of library sciences. In 1957, the school changed its name for the fourth and final time to Texas Woman's University and began accepting men into its graduate school that same year. In 1994, the school opened all of its programs to qualified men and has since grown into a diverse student population with the third most diverse makeup in the state and 21st most diverse in the nation, according to a 2008 U.S. News and World Report survey.^[1]

Today, Texas Woman's University is the largest public university primarily for women in the United States with over 10,000 women enrolled in its undergraduate and graduate schools. TWU's academic and social environment empowers students by inspiring intellectual curiosity and lifelong learning, embracing scholarship and research, developing leadership and personal responsibility, and promoting diversity and respect for all individuals. TWU educates students to succeed as they pursue careers, research or graduate study in the liberal arts and sciences and health, education, and business professions. By setting high expectations and high ideals, TWU prepares its graduates to lead personally and professionally fulfilling lives.^[1]
