“The Truman School prepares our students to address pressing public problems with a diverse array of methodological and theoretical approaches. Students in the Truman school are given the tools to meaningfully engage in the public policy process, evaluate the efficacy of different public policies, and to effectively manage organizations.”

Leanne Tippett Mosby, Director of Career & Alumni Services

“It is energizing to work with both our on-campus students who are just embarking on a career in public service as well our mid-career students who are ready to take it to the next level. Working with alumni then gives me the opportunity to see the full spectrum and really appreciate the benefits of public affairs education.”

Kathy Miller, Academic Programs Director

"The Truman School’s multiple modalities are designed to cater to traditional students fresh out of their undergraduate programs as well as students with some work experience. Our competency-based curriculum provides a solid, broadly applicable skillset for careers in government agencies, nonprofits, consulting firms, think tanks and the private sector."
