SCI-Southwest and the Host Institution

Texas Woman's University is the host institution for the SCI-Southwest.  Established in 1901, Texas Woman’s University (TWU) is unique as the nation’s largest university primarily for women with enrollment for this academic year exceeding 13,000: over 90% of these students are women and nearly 44% are from underrepresented groups.  Therefore, Texas Woman’s University has a strong commitment to educating female and other ethnically diverse students, both in the state of Texas and nationally.  Academically, TWU offers undergraduate and graduate programs in teacher education, health sciences and nursing, and in the liberal arts and natural sciences. One of the primary missions of TWU is to empower 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.

Areas of Expertise and Focus
