We use a holistic approach when evaluating your application, and requirements may vary based on your admission status. Choose the right application for you below.

Beyond your GPA and ACT or SAT scores, you’ll want to take academically challenging courses, and be involved in organizations you are passionate about. Submitting an essay and activities list will give you the best review for admission and scholarships.

Your admission will be based on your academic progress at your current institution. Being a transfer student at Truman is an easy transition when pursuing your Bachelor’s degree. We’ll help you continue your current academic track, or help you explore a new one.

To ensure that you are ready for Truman’s rigorous programs, the Center for International Students has some specific requirements. Review our page for a full list of requirements to have your application considered for admission.

Each graduate program has specific requirements unique to the program. Start by visiting our Graduate Studies site and view the admission requirements for the program that meets your needs.

Specific Program Requirements

• Music Major
  If you are interested in declaring a music major, you must perform an audition for a committee of music studio faculty in order to determine that you have reached a sufficiently advanced level of applied proficiency. For more information about our music major or to schedule an audition, visit our Music webpage.
• Nursing Major
  Placement within our nursing major is dependent upon the number of spaces available and individual evaluation. If you are interested in majoring in nursing, you must be accepted to Truman as well as to the nursing program. An additional application and essay must be submitted by January 15 to be evaluated for admission to the nursing program. For more information, visit the Nursing webpage.
