Graduate Placement

Ninety-nine percent of Truman graduates are placed in either graduate/professional school or employment positions within six months of graduation. Currently, based on the students reporting post-graduation plans, 50% of our students are entering graduate or professional school immediately after graduation at institutions such as Yale, Washington University, Stanford, Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Georgetown, and the University of Chicago, among others. Students seeking jobs immediately following graduation are in demand by companies and agencies such as Boeing, Hallmark, Inc., IRS, FDIC, IBM, State Farm Insurance, Proctor & Gamble, Southwestern Bell, Metropolitan Life, major accountancy firms and many others who regularly interview on campus.
