About Texas Woman's University
Texas Woman's University is a public university in Denton, Texas, founded in 1901, known for health sciences, nursing, and occupational therapy programs.
Texas Woman's University (TWU) is a public university established in 1901 in Denton, Texas, approximately 40 miles north of Dallas. With a total enrollment of around 15,361 students and an undergraduate population of roughly 10,034, TWU is one of the largest universities primarily focused on women in the United States, though it admits students of all genders at the graduate level and men at the undergraduate level in most programs.
TWU is nationally recognized for its health sciences programs. Its College of Nursing is among the largest in Texas, and the School of Occupational Therapy and Department of Physical Therapy offer graduate programs that are consistently ranked among the best in the country. The university also has strong programs in library and information studies, nutrition and food sciences, and biology.
The Denton campus sits in North Texas, a region with a lower cost of living than major Texas metros. TWU also operates campuses in Dallas and Houston, giving students access to major medical and professional hubs. The university accepts about 96% of applicants, making it accessible, though specific health sciences programs at the graduate level are more competitive.

For Nepali students
- TWU's health sciences pipeline, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and nutrition, aligns with fields where Nepali graduates find strong employment demand both in the US and internationally. Many of these programs qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension, giving F-1 visa holders up to three years of US work authorization after graduation.
- International students at TWU who receive a TWU merit scholarship of $1,000 or more may qualify to pay in-state tuition rates, significantly reducing the out-of-state cost. This brings annual tuition closer to approximately $18,000–$20,000, making TWU a comparatively affordable option among US public universities for Nepali students.
- Denton's cost of living is considerably lower than Dallas or Houston, which reduces overall living expenses, a meaningful factor for Nepali students funding their studies without large family wealth or external grants.
- TWU's International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office actively supports F-1 students through OPT, STEM OPT, and I-20 processes, and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex offers a large South Asian community and significant healthcare and technology job markets relevant to TWU graduates.
