Truman State University is Missouri's premier liberal arts and sciences university and the only highly selective public institution in the state. As one of the very few publicly funded liberal arts schools in the nation, Truman successfully combines affordability with the type of education and personal attention typically only offered at a private institution.
Truman has established an impeccable reputation in the Midwest and throughout the nation for the high-quality undergraduate programs offered. In fact, for more than two decades, U.S. News & World Report has ranked Truman State University as the number one master's level public institution in the Midwest. A commitment to student achievement and learning is the focus of the University.

Academic Programs
Truman also offers a challenging Honors Scholar Program. Students have the opportunity to select the most rigorous honors courses to satisfy the liberal arts component of their respective programs. Those who successfully complete this program benefit from an even richer academic experience at Truman and receive special recognition at graduation. Departmental honors are also available in several disciplines.
Students at Truman are active both inside and outside of the classroom. More than 400 Truman students participate in enriching and life-changing study abroad experiences each year. Students can participate in programs ranging from a couple weeks to a year in duration, and can choose from numerous destinations worldwide. The Chronicle for Higher Education recognized Truman as the top producer of Fulbright students for the 2017-18 school year among Master's institutions. This federal grant provides funds for studying or working abroad after graduation.
Truman offers a wide variety of experiential internships, a required component of some academic programs. The "Truman in Washington" program provides work-experience opportunities in the nation's capitol in such areas as foreign affairs/diplomacy, government affairs, criminal justice, international relations, health and human services, and communications as well as other areas. Truman also offers internship opportunities with the Missouri State Legislature. In recent years, students have completed internships with United States senators, the United States Supreme Court, the governor of Missouri, business and industry managers, advertising agencies, physical therapists, and artists. For the fall 2015 semester, Truman had three interns at the White House.
Majors and Degrees Offered
Undergraduate degrees offered by Truman include the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Science (B.S.), Bachelor of Music (B.M.), Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.), and Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.). Truman offers more than forty areas of study in the following disciplines: Accounting, Agricultural Science, Art, Art History, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biology, Business Administration, Chemistry, Classics, Communication, Communication Disorders, Computer Science, Creative Writing, Economics, English, Exercise Science, French, German, Health Science, History, Interdisciplinary Studies, Justice Systems, Linguistics, Mathematics, Music, Nursing, Philosophy and Religion, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, Romance Languages, Sociology/Anthropology, Spanish, Statistics, and Theatre.
Professional paths include but are not limited to dentistry, engineering, law, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy, occupational therapy and veterinary medicine.
The teaching degree at Truman is the Master of Arts in Education. Students wishing to pursue a teaching career first complete a bachelor's degree in an academic discipline and then apply for admission into professional study at the master's level. Master's programs in special education, elementary education, middle school education, and secondary education are available.
Truman also offers Master's level degrees in Accountancy (MAc), Athletic Training (MAT), Communication Disorders (MA), Counseling (MA), English (MA), Leadership (MA) and Music (MA).
The Liberal Studies Program is the heart of Truman's curriculum and is intended to serve as a foundation for all major programs of study. The philosophy behind the Liberal Studies Program is based upon a commitment that Truman has made to provide students with essential skills needed for lifelong learning, breadth across the traditional liberal arts and sciences through exposure to various discipline-based modes of inquiry, and interconnecting perspectives that stress interdisciplinary thinking and integration as well as linkage to other cultures and experiences.
Students at Truman complete a "capstone," or culminating experience their senior year. This experience prompts seniors to reflect on the knowledge they have gained throughout their learning experience and to integrate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of liberal learning with an in-depth understanding of the major.

Students Say
Located in northeast Missouri, Truman State University is a public university that combines the fundamentals of a liberal arts education with specialized programming and hands-on learning, offering "an amazing education at a great price." There are 52 majors available, with all students completing a core curriculum (called the Dialogues) that ensures they develop proficiencies in areas such as writing, speaking, and social perspectives. Truman undergrads also take part in the Truman Symposium, an educational endeavor in which they participate in projects and shared experiences that benefit the students, the university, and the Kirksville community.
This is "a very academically rigorous and challenging school" with "interesting classes galore," and "if you plan to attend any form of graduate school, this school definitely prepares you."
Every student "has to actually attend classes in order to get something out of the experience," but "the workload is manageable." To keep students involved and engaged, many classes are discussion-based and include projects called Facilitations, where students lead the class in a discussion related to a specific topic. Students appreciate the just-right size of the university and say "student-professor relationships are great for mentoring purposes and for future networking opportunities." Many professors have daily office hours "and even more answer emails outside of normal hours or even give students their personal contact info"; they "truly care about individual students, but in a tough love sort of way."

Students Say
The school encourages high-impact learning experiences such as internships, research, and study abroad (more than 500 study abroad programs are available in over 60 countries). Numerous school-sponsored (and even paid) internships are available both on-campus and around the world, including the Truman in Washington program. This program offers “work-experience opportunities in such areas as foreign affairs/diplomacy, government affairs, [and] criminal justice,” among others. One student shares, “The Missouri Government Internship had me work full-time in Jefferson City and the Missouri Capitol; it was quite a great experience.” The Career Center has plenty of resources for those looking for these types of experiences and opportunities. The center also provides career coaching, biannual Career & Grad School Weeks (including expos), résumé critiques, and an Alumni Mock Interview Day in which students can practice with alums from across a range of industries. And since nearly 40 percent of graduating seniors enter graduate or professional school, the center keeps a robust library of guides and test prep books. According to PayScale.com, 48 percent of Truman State alums report that they derive a high level of meaning from their careers, and graduates earn a median starting salary of $57,100.

Students Say
Motivated students will do well here as Truman is "a collective place for ambitious individuals." The "majority of students here are focused on their academic studies" and are "driven, smart individuals who also value community." Although the school "is not racially diverse," there are "quite a few international students," as the overall population comes from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. "Many work a required campus job necessary for scholarships, along with taking heavy class loads, and being involved in multiple extracurriculars." Whether or not you're one of the "mainly liberal students" the atmosphere seems to be one where we are "all in this together."

Overview
From The School
Location
The Truman campus is beautifully situated on 180 acres in Kirksville, a town of approximately 17,000 located in the northeast corner of Missouri. The historic downtown area is within walking distance of the Truman campus and provides a connection to the Kirksville community with local restaurants, shops, and entertainment.
Campus Facilities & Equipment
Students take advantage of numerous academic resources and facilities available to them. Improvements to campus facilities have included major renovations to Baldwin Hall one of the most historic buildings on campus housing classrooms, faculty offices, and Baldwin Auditorium, a 1400 seat performance space and home of the Lyceum Series.. Barnett Hall has a modern Student Media Center encompassing facilities for the student-produced newspaper, Midwest travel magazine, radio station, and TV studio. Students also enjoy dining, socializing, and relaxing in the newly renovated Student Union Building.
The Health Sciences Building houses a speech and hearing clinic for Communication Disorders students, an independent learning center for Nursing students, a Human Performance lab, and the Fontaine C. Piper Movement Analysis lab. Additional facilities include a biofeedback laboratory, an organic chemistry lab, an observatory, a 400-acre university farm, a multicultural affairs center, student health center, and a career center. Athletic facilities include a 5,000-seat football stadium, a 3,000-seat arena with three basketball courts, an Olympic-size swimming pool, soccer and rugby fields, baseball and softball fields, tennis courts, a dance studio, and a Student Recreation Center.
Truman has been measuring its energy consumption and is implementing appropriate measures to lower it. Solar panels are located on five different buildings across campus. During the first year of implementation, Truman saw a reduction of 113.5 tons of CO2 emissions producing 108 kW of useable energy from these panels. Efforts to manage the consumption of our natural resources are also a priority. We are proud of our beautiful campus, which has been named a Tree Campus USA site by the Arbor Day Foundation.
Residence halls also provide comfortable and enriching living environments for students. Most of the halls have been renovated within the last five years. All residence halls offer lounges, kitchenettes, laundry facilities, high-speed internet (including wireless), cable TV, and many other amenities. Students can eat in dining halls or in the food court style dining in the Student Union Building.

Students Say
Making your own fun is a real thing in the small town of Kirksville, but "students here know how to make the most out of it." And because "Truman offers so many clubs and activities, that between those and classes and homework, you'll probably never get truly bored." In fact, Truman has well over 230 clubs and organizations, so it makes sense that "student organizations are the main source of socialization here." The Student Activities Board also provides events and entertainment for the students, including a Mario Kart tournament, entertainers like Josh Peck, and even bringing hot air balloons on campus. The university promotes school spirit with weekly events like Purple Friday, where faculty, students, and staff are encouraged to wear school colors, and there are activities and events in the student union and on the Mall. Not all entertainment is school-related; students also note that there is a "great Greek life" for those that want to partake.
When students need some downtime, there is "a state park close to Kirksville where you can go hiking and go to the lake," and "when the weather is nice it's such a mental health support being able to just sit on the Quad." There are various housing options for students, including the Living Learning Communities for students that want to share living space with others with similar academic interests. Kirksville is a college town, so every year the school has a community service day called The Big Event, and students show their appreciation of the surrounding community by performing volunteer services such as cleanup and maintenance tasks.
