Spotlight on Truman State University

Today's college spotlight takes us to the small town of Kirksville in Missouri. Truman State University (formerly Northeast Missouri State University) represents a fantastic value for the high-achieving student who wants the feeling of a small private college without the $45,000 a year price tag. In 2007 the in-state tuition was just $6,432, and at $11,042 the university isn't soaking out-of-state students either. Also, you've got to love the fact that 94% of students received an institutional grant as part of their financial aid. Quality teaching is highly valued at Truman, and with an average class size of 24, you'll get to know your professors.
