When you schedule a Personal Visit, you will meet with an admission counselor and take a tour of campus. And if you are interested in meeting with a professor or sitting in on a class you find intriguing, we can help make arrangements for that also.
Schedule A Personal Visit
- Meet an Admission Counselor
During your scheduled personal visit, you will meet with an admission counselor to discuss your interests and goals. Our admission counselors can answer your questions about financial aid, major or academic interests, extracurricular activities on campus, and residence life. - Tour Campus
Guided by our informative student ambassadors, you will tour our residence halls, academic buildings, and recreational areas. You can even stop by the University Bookstore when you visit the Student Union Building in case you want to get some Truman apparel. Our campus tours are walking tours typically lasting an hour and a half.
Other Types of Meetings You Can Request
Faculty Meeting
When scheduling your visit, you can request to meet with a faculty member in your area of interest. Our faculty are recognized for their dedication to teaching and are excited about meeting prospective students. At Truman they are here to help you reach your potential not only as teachers, but as research mentors, academic advisers and career counselors. In addition, many faculty are active as advisers for student organizations and lead study abroad programs for students.
Classroom Visit
There is no better way to see how you will fit in as a student at Truman than by engaging in classroom discussions on your visit. Discuss Voltaire in an English literature course or learn about human anatomy while deciding between being a Biology or Health Science major. Can’t decide? We will be happy to make multiple appointments for you.
Other Requests
Truman has a number of student services that you can visit while on campus. Want to learn more about our Career Center’s mission? Maybe you have in interest in meeting someone in our Study Abroad Office? You can also request a meeting with a number of student organization representatives.
Open Saturday Visits
The Admission Office also offers select Open Saturday Visits, separate from our Showcase Visit Events. The Open Saturday Visits include a meeting with an admission counselor and a tour of campus. Due to the nature of these visits, other meeting requests, such as faculty meetings or class visits, will likely not be available. Dates available for our Open Saturday Visits are listed below. To schedule an Open Saturday Visit, please contact our visit coordinator by calling (660) 785-4135 or email visit@truman.edu.
