Notables

Truman was included on the list of the 30 Best Liberal Arts Colleges in the Midwest, compiled by Great Value Colleges. The website’s editors looked at every liberal arts college located in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma and South Dakota. The list was narrowed to 30 schools by focusing on: core curriculum; rankings, both national and international; student retention rates; notable faculty and alumni; historical significance; and PayScale’s 20-year Return on Investment. Truman was the only public university to make the list.
