It’s never too early to use the Career Center. From exploring different majors to developing a career plan, the Career Center has resources and services to help you succeed.

Disability Services

Student Access and Disability Services provides students with disabilities the services necessary to participate in all aspects of University life, including interpreter and note-taking assistance, Braille translations, audio recordings of course materials, orientation assistance, van accessibility for field trips, campus housing accommodations, and more.

Diversity Resources

Foreign Language Learning Center

The Foreign Language Learning Center helps you learn and practice another language. Peer learning labs give students enrolled in elementary or intermediate levels of foreign language courses a chance to study with an upper-class student or a native speaker.

International Students Resources

Working closely with international students from recruitment to graduation, the Center for International Students offers services designed to empower students from other countries to achieve their full potential at Truman.

Library Services/Resources

When you have a research project, you can meet with a reference librarian in Pickler Memorial Library to plan how to best approach your project. They can also provide customized assistance on databases and research techniques for specific assignments.

Math Tutoring

The Mathematics and Statistics Departments offer year-round tutoring services Monday through Friday if you need assistance in your math courses.

Research Involvement

Research is an important part of your undergraduate experience at Truman, and in some majors, you can receive academic credit for conducting research. The Office of Student Research can help you explore different venues for research involvement. Truman students have published their research findings in national journals, presented at professional conferences, and participated in Truman’s annual Student Research Conference.

Tutoring

The Center for Academic Excellence has a team of dedicated tutors on hand who provide free tutoring to enhance your academic success.

Writing Center

Offering services from the beginner level to advanced, the Writing Center helps you refine your writing skills by providing counsel on strategy, technique, conceptualizing, drafting, revising, and editing.
