In 1950 the nursing program at Texas State College for Women (Now Texas Woman’s University) became the first nationally accredited nursing school in Texas. The College of Nursing’s Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) was approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board on July 19, 2007. The TWU Doctor of Nursing Practice builds on the legacy of the TWU PhD in Nursing Science, one the largest doctoral nursing program in the US.

College of Nursing was established in 1954, and is the 5th oldest Doctoral program in Nursing in the United States. TWU’s College of Nursing is the largest in Texas and the 11th largest in the U.S. TWU’s nursing doctoral program is the largest in the world. The College of Nursing offers programs on the baccalaureate, master’s, and doctoral level. In addition to the generic Bachelor of Science program for students with no prior degree, there is a fast track program and a weekend program for students who already have a Bachelor’s Degree; the school also has a Registered Nurse to Baccalaureate program (RN to BS) and a Registered Nurse to Master’s Program (RN to MS). The school is very competitive with the cut off GPA frequently at 3.9/4. The College of Nursing has campuses in Houston and Dallas.
