An article in the August 25 edition of Washington Monthly titled "America’s Best and Worst Colleges for Women in STEM" caught Juliet Spencer, PhD, by surprise. The director of TWU's School of Sciences had not heard of the bimonthly magazine or its monumental project.

In the article, under the category "Best Biology," the No. 6 school in the nation: Texas Woman's University.

Washington Monthly found that for median earnings five years after graduation (women and men), TWU ranked fourth in the nation at $60,619 per year.
