Graduate instruction has been offered by the Texas Woman’s University since 1930 when the increased demand for advanced studies resulted in the development of a graduate program and establishment of the Graduate School. Since 1952 the Graduate School has operated as a unit under its own Dean and Graduate Council. Under provisions of Title IX of the Education Amendments in 1972, qualified men became eligible for admission to all programs offered at the graduate level on the same basis as qualified women.
