Welcome to Truman School of Public Affairs | Harry S Truman School of Public Affairs

Dr. Angela Hull, Associate Teaching Professor

"Whether early or mid-career, students get the knowledge, skills and experiences to build their careers in public and nonprofit service."

Dr. Aram Hur, Assistant Professor & Co-Director of the MU Institute for Korean Studies

“What sets the Truman School apart is the Midwestern sense of community. The students and faculty bring a sincere passion to their policy studies and research. Each of us believes we can make a real difference. That shared recognition is the foundation for our intellectual excellence, and what makes us always strive for better.”

Dr. Sara Gable, Director, Institute of Public Policy

"I am honored to join the Truman School of Public Affairs as Director of the Institute of Public Policy and look forward to working with the students, staff, and faculty on matters of importance to the lives of Missouri citizens and people everywhere. The scholarly and research expertise in policy analysis creates a perfect environment for students to learn, firsthand, about policy formation, implementation, and evaluation."

Walt Williams, Spring 2020 Graduate

"I have enjoyed the Truman School of Public Affairs master's program. It is a well-balanced program with excellent faculty and staff that transcends cultural barriers. A perfect master's program choice!"

Julia Tyack, 2021 Mid-Career Graduate, Lodi, California

"The Truman School’s respected program attracts a wide range of students in a variety of fields from across the country and the globe, and it has given me a perspective of public affairs that I would not have had the opportunity to experience in a local California MPA program"
