What are the graduation rates for students at Texas Woman's University?

TWU's reported six-year graduation rate is 49% for the applicable first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 23%. These figures measure whether students in a defined entering cohort completed within four or six years; they are not the graduation odds of every student who attends TWU.

The gap between the four- and six-year figures is relevant to budgeting: some students who finish do so after a fourth year, potentially adding living expenses or delaying full-time employment. TWU's reported first-year retention rate is 70%, meaning about seven in ten students in the measured cohort returned the following fall.

Standard federal graduation-rate cohorts do not capture transfer entrants in the same way as first-time students. That distinction matters at TWU, which enrolled 1,129 new transfer students in the reported period. Applicants evaluating a particular major should look for program-specific progression or licensure information where available rather than treat the university-wide rate as a prediction for that major.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Texas Woman's University?

Early-career earnings reported for TWU vary substantially by field. College Scorecard figures for the period identified as one year after graduation include a median of $64,343 for the reported nursing category and $61,489 for computer and information sciences. The reported median for business administration, management, and operations is $39,200.

These are program-level median earnings for the graduates represented in the federal earnings data, not starting-salary offers or what every graduate of a major earns. The measure covers a limited period after completion and reflects the people whose earnings can be observed under the Scorecard methodology; it is not a complete census of all graduates.

Location, occupation, hours worked, further study, and licensing requirements can all affect an individual's result. A one-year figure may be particularly incomplete for fields in which graduates commonly pursue additional credentials. Students comparing programs should consider likely borrowing and time to completion alongside earnings, rather than rank majors by a single number.
