Like you, we’re unique. We’re a different kind of public university with a different kind of liberal arts and sciences curriculum. This is where rigorous academics meets a close-knit and accepting campus culture. Where intellectually curious students find active learning environments, and where dynamic faculty develop the next generation of problem solvers and leaders.
Welcome to a campus where your professors know you by name and genuinely care about your success. You'll share your college experience with other intellectually curious students who are supportive of each other.
From hammocks on the Quad, to tree-lined sidewalks, to study areas with great views, our beautiful campus is the perfect home away from home.
Kirksville
Nestled in Northeast Missouri, within easy driving distance of several major cities, Kirksville is a friendly community that provides everything you need (shops, restaurants, farmers markets, nightlife and more) just a few blocks from campus.
Traditions
We may take our studies seriously, but we also know how to have fun and embrace our school spirit. From our beloved Bulldog mascot, to Homecoming, Purple Friday and the Big Event, we celebrate everything it means to be Truman as often as we can.
History
Although a lot has changed since our founding in 1867, one thing has remained the same: our unwavering commitment to providing a high-quality education and our devotion to helping students move their dreams forward.
