For more than two decades, Truman has been ranked as the No. 1 public university in the Midwest by U.S. News and World Report, which also ranks Truman tops in undergraduate teaching.
Distinct Diversity
International students bring a distinct, rich diversity to the Truman campus, hailing from more than 40 countries and all corners of the globe, studying across the spectrum of our 49 undergraduate degrees, playing an active role in all areas of campus life. What distinct role will you play at Truman?
I chose Truman because it was a very affordable option that provided quality education. The school’s location, size, and faculty-to-student ratio were all the perfect fit for me.
The student-to-faculty ratio is very low which means your professors are very approachable and are always available if you need help in the class or some advice. Truman also offers a lot of great resources that will help you to succeed if you take advantage of them.
