Truman Recognized on Elite List of Best Buys

Truman was once again selected as one of 10 public schools in the “Fiske Guide to Colleges” Best Buys of 2023.

For 39 years, the “Fiske Guide to Colleges” has chosen a select group of schools based on academic quality and affordability for its best buy list. The 2023 guide includes 20 schools – 10 public and 10 private – it deems as best buys. These are schools that, in the judgement of the editors, offer “outstanding educational value as determined by academic quality in relation to the net cost of attendance.”

Truman has been included in the “Fiske Guide to Colleges” for eight consecutive years and 14 times total.

This year’s list includes colleges and universities throughout the United States, with Truman being the only school from Missouri to be selected.
