In addition to enrollment growth, the number of credit hours students are enrolled in grew by 3.2 percent over the past year, reflecting students taking on larger academic course loads, which could potentially shorten students’ time to graduation. Furthermore, over half of incoming students earned merit scholarships, up from 48.1 percent in 2024.
Texas Woman’s University also enrolled its second-largest incoming class of first-year students, slightly below the record-high in 2024. Among last year’s first-year cohort, the one-year persistence rate of these students rose 7 percent over the prior year’s cohort, reflecting the highest first-year persistence rate in nine years.
