About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.
Texas Woman's University serves an undergraduate population with both Pell Grant recipients and a sizable estimated transfer-in presence. Pell Grants go to 42.0% of its 8,767 undergraduates, and an estimated 42.5% entered after beginning coursework elsewhere.
That composition suggests several routes into the undergraduate body rather than a single first-year path. In its 2024-25 Common Data Set, the university reported 2,406 degree-seeking transfer applicants. It admitted 2,320 transfer applicants and enrolled 1,065.
Six-year completion at Texas Woman's University matches the comparable-institution benchmark: 49.1% for the first-time full-time cohort, the same as the peer median of 49.1%. First-year retention is lower, with 69.5% of full-time bachelor's-seeking first-year students returning, compared with 73.7% at comparable institutions (same type and size).
Within the Pell-recipient portion of the first-time full-time cohort, the six-year completion rate is 57.3%, above the overall rate by 8.2 percentage points. Enrolled students can expect a six-year completion record in line with peers, alongside a first-year return rate below that benchmark.
The completion picture is mixed: Pell recipients finish at a higher rate than the overall cohort, while first-year retention trails comparable institutions.
