Truman Moves Up in College Consensus Ranking

Truman came in at No. 5, an improvement of four spots from last year. It was the highest-rated Missouri school by more than 50 spots, and one of only two Show-Me State public schools to be included in the rankings.

College Consensus aggregates published rankings from sources such as Forbes, U.S. News & World Report and the Washington Monthly, along with student reviews from sites such as Cappex, Niche and Student Review to get a full picture of how students see their colleges. Using that score, schools are then ordered according to the most recent out-of-state tuition and fee information published by the National Center for Education Statistics. For its Best Value list, College Consensus editors take cost into consideration in order to compile a list of affordable schools that are still high quality.
