Texas Woman's University Reviews

"Excellent program. Prepared me better than average for the work field. 100% board licensure exam pass rate. 100% job placement."

"I absolutely love this program and would choos it again, hands down, any day. I continue to receive support from faculty even though I have graduated in relation to career development, job opportunities, and staying connected with the university. I was once told by a clinical instructor that she could tell the difference between students that attended TWU's School of Physical Therapy as compared to other schools of Texas. She stated that we are much more prepared and work well, even as students, in the clinic setting."

"This program truly prepared it's students for success on the NPTE and in the clinic. The faculty is amazing."

"Prepares students with appropriate PT content needed for NPTE and good support from staff and faculty throughout the year."

"I believe majority of the professors want to see their students successful in this program. There are so many different opportunities and access to gain through the program in order network with others that are in the fashion industry."

"There are so many things to do at TWU. I encourage future and current students to take advantage of the many clubs and organizations that they offer. Also, there are so many events going on just be sure to grab a school calender."

"I really feel like I was highly mislead into this program. If you can afford this school or have great help with scholarships it's not oo bad. However, I feel as if it was definitely the wrong choice for me as a college seeing as I didn't feel like 75-80% of my teachers actually cared about what they were teaching about. Unfortunately even with the amount of money I spent and the scholarships granted I would NEVER recommend this school to anyone; unless they are a male or a minority because I knew many friends of those aspects that qualified for more than enough scholarships."

"The graduate students are very accomplished and talented, but still spur each other on to do better work and help each other out. They are a diverse mix of ages and backgrounds.The program is small enough for great personal attention. The teachers are wonderful-they really encourage each student to achieve their personal best work and to keep growing. The only problem is an extremely limited amount of scholarships and graduate teaching assistantships.The process and policy for gaining an assistantship is not well-defined."

"Pros: Very strong program. Staff and instructors are accessible and very helpful. Get the sense from instructors that they want you to succeed. Cons: none"

"TWU is a fantastic place to study physical therapy! The program is outstanding and the cost of attendance can't be beat. They also offer scholarships and the campus has great labs and passionate teachers. So glad I chose this program!"

"It is a lot of hard work and time, but if you put in the effort you will learn a lot and be well prepared for your career."

"The pros of the program are that it is very hands on, so when you get out of school you have plenty of experience"

"Pros - The professors are very intelligent and want you to succeed. They are always available to help out whenever you may need it. The campus grounds are beautiful and I feel very safe while walking around. The buildings are in walking distance to each other, and there is plenty of parking. Also, I am able to receive numerous hours of clinical practicum to prepare me when I receive my first job. Cons - Even though the price is lower than other schools around, it is still pretty steep making it difficult for me to pay to receive my master's degree."

"I feel my university does an excellent job of preparing the students for work in their respective health fields. They also provide a great network for life after school. Some of the downsides of the program include, long hours, rushed exams, and few campus jobs. The price of living is a bit high in Houston, and the school's financial aid system is lacking in quality service. Great faculty and staff overall!"

"Tell us about your college experience.It is small so classes are small and instruction is student oriented.Would you get the same degree if you could start over?I would get the same degree, I love my field.What advice can you offer other students?Keep a good balance between school and life. Don't procrastinate."

"Texas Woman's Univeristy has an amazing campus in Denton. I currently take classes solely in the Dallas campus. I believe that there are a lot of high qualities in this program such as networking, student involvement, how competitive the program is, high quality of the student resources available, and overall value of the program."

"Texas Woman's physical therapy program is very competitive. The professors there have a reputation of not only preparing students for the rehabilitation process, but also how to deal with insurance companies, how to gauge a patient's personality and how to interact with the individual at a personal level, and the tools required to run your on business."

"The graduate program at Texas Woman's University is exceptional. The courses I have completed were taught by highly motivated and deeply committed professors who continually display concern and respect for their students through their accessibility during class and outside of class time. While tuition is more than reasonable for the high quality of graduate education, the material cost and financial obligation of producing the highest quality work to meet expectations, both academically and personal. is often quite high."

"The program places great emphasis on the study of diversity and a feminist approach to research and therapy. Faculty is warm and available. Cohorts are small, allowing for relationships between students and one-on-one time with faculty members. Opportunities for teaching available. The only con is that the program is fairly long; there is a great deal of required coursework as compared to other programs. Even with the transfer of 30 hours, the program will still require a minimum of five years including internship."

"Graduate school is necessary for achieving my future goals. In an effort to pursue career goals in a timely fashion, it is essential that I take advantage of this opportunity as it is currently presented. The downside to this opportune moment is that financially I can not accomplish it alone. My family is not even able to gather enough funds to make it possible."
