Courses Offered for Spring Semester

Students are able to view all available courses for the spring semester on the Truman Registrar website. This can be found by going here and clicking on Current Courses on the left side of the screen. Select Spring 2018 in the term box and click submit.

Foreign Language Requirements for International Students

As a liberal arts and sciences university, Truman requires students to attain proficiency in a foreign language. This requirement is waived for international students who are non-native English speakers. However, if you wish to study a language, you must take the Foreign Language Placement Test at truview.truman.edu.

English Placement Test

Truman requires that every non-native speaker of English take a written English Placement Test upon arrival. Based on the outcome of this test, students may be required to take ENG 152, Advanced Writing for Non-Native Speakers. This is a 1 hour essay test from a prompt given during orientation.
