TWIN FALLS, ID – Representatives from Texas Woman’s University (TWU) and the ÑÇÖÞ²ÊƱ¹ÙÍø (ÑÇÖÞ²ÊƱ¹ÙÍø) have come together to sign off on a new partnership between the two institutions. ÑÇÖÞ²ÊƱ¹ÙÍø President Dr. L Dean Fisher and TWU Vice Provost Dr. Jorge Figueroa Flores signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Monday, October 3, which will offer a seamless pathway for ÑÇÖÞ²ÊƱ¹ÙÍø students to pursue TWU’s catalog of baccalaureate programs through online class offerings.
"Our collaboration with Texas Woman’s University is a testament to our shared commitment to providing our students with the support they need to thrive,” said ÑÇÖÞ²ÊƱ¹ÙÍø Vice President of Student Affairs & Enrollment Management, Dr. Jonathan Lord. “By working together, we can create a smooth transition that ensures students continue on their educational paths with confidence and enthusiasm."
Like ÑÇÖÞ²ÊƱ¹ÙÍø, TWU is a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). This MOU will give ÑÇÖÞ²ÊƱ¹ÙÍø students the ability to transfer from one HSI to another in the pursuit of furthering their higher education goals. “This partnership between ÑÇÖÞ²ÊƱ¹ÙÍø and Texas Woman’s University is a catalyst for students in Southern Idaho,” said TWU Vice Provost Dr. Jorge Figueroa Flores. “By joining forces, we’re creating a pathway for local students to pursue higher education at TWU while staying close to home. This opportunity will not only broaden their horizons but also foster a stronger connection between two Hispanic Serving Institutions.”
Texas Woman’s University is the nation’s largest university system focused on women, offering degree programs in the liberal arts and sciences, nursing, health sciences, business, and education. TWU was recognized with a 2024 Seal of Excelencia, which recognizes Hispanic Serving Institutions that strive to go beyond enrollment to intentionally serve Latino students. Male students have been admitted to the university’s graduate programs since 1972 and undergraduate programs since 1994.
