Spotlight on Truman State University

Thursday July 31, 2008
Truman State UniversityToday'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.

To learn more about Truman State University, check out the Truman State profile and visit the Truman State website. If you're familiar with Truman, please share your impressions in the College Admissions Forum.

Many thanks to Mack (macattak2) for recommending Truman State University to be featured here. If there's a college you'd like to see appear in the spotlight, you can make your suggestions in the forum.
