Princeton Review Includes Truman Among “Best Colleges” List
Truman is included in the recently released “The Best 391 Colleges” 2026 guidebook by The Princeton Review.
Since 1992, The Princeton Review’s Best Colleges guide has showcased the colleges they recommend as the nation’s best for undergraduate academics. It features only about 15% of America’s four-year colleges and is one of the most popular of their 150 books.
Schools included in “The Best 391 Colleges” are not ranked, but the guidebook does include ratings for each school in the specific categories of academics, admissions, selectivity, financial aid, fire safety and green, a measure of a school’s commitment to sustainability and the environment.
Truman was also included among The Princeton Review’s “Best Value Colleges.” This subcategory is based on a combination of institutional and student survey data, including academic rigor, affordability, and career outcomes for graduates, among others.
The Princeton Review web feature “2026 Best Colleges: Region by Region” includes Truman as one of the best schools in the Midwest. For this list, the region includes Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
