Texas Woman's University (TWU) is launching a new flight school, the Doswell School of Aeronautical Sciences, this semester to empower women and address the pilot shortage.
According to NBC Dallas, the university is now the only woman-focused institution nationwide with a professional pilot program.
Backed by a $15 million grant from the Doswell Foundation, TWU's program will offer two degree tracks: professional pilot and flight operations. Classes will be held on campus, with flight training conducted at Denton Enterprise Airport in partnership with the U.S. Aviation Academy. The initiative aims to enhance career opportunities for women in aviation and support the growing demand for pilots.
