Available Courses
If you would like to study at Truman State University while still in high school, you may apply discounted pricing to any course in the Truman catalog for which you are academically qualified. Generally speaking, unless certain pre-requisites are met and faculty approval has been granted, as a high school student you should only be taking 100-level and 200-level courses. These are also the most transferrable courses in any University’s catalog.
Any course below that has the CORE 42 icon 
next to it is approved for the CORE 42 transfer library and is guaranteed to count at any Missouri public college or university. Most other courses will also transfer, but we recommend checking with the receiving institution first to verify whether the course will transfer and what requirement it will fulfill.
To search the full catalog of Truman courses, you can explore our Current Course List. Select the term (Summer 2020, Fall 2020, etc.) in the drop-down menu. In the next screen, select the subject area in which you are interested and hit “Class Search” at the bottom of the page. If you want to search ALL courses, you can highlight all of the subjects while holding down the CTRL key on your keyboard.
Online courses are designated by “Online Instruction” in the Schedule Type field. The location of the course will read “World Wide Web ONLINE.” If you are uncertain about whether a course is online or on-ground, or if you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact our office at institute@truman.edu. Some courses meet in “real time” via Zoom, so be careful to look at the listed time and location of the class meeting to be sure you can attend.
