Overview
The Merrilee Alexander Kick College of Business & Entrepreneurship is a constituent college of Texas Woman's University, a public institution founded in 1901 in Denton, Texas. Renamed in recognition of a significant donor gift, the college has evolved from a traditional business department into a dedicated college emphasizing entrepreneurship, leadership, and practical business skills. TWU is best known for its historic mission of educating women, though it has admitted men into most programs since the 1990s, and the business college reflects the university's broader commitment to accessible, career-focused higher education.
