All students are required to take a comprehensive examination for their major during their senior year, prior to graduation.
Students will receive emails at their Truman email account regarding senior testing and may follow Truview scheduling instructions here or by calling the Assessment and Testing Office at 660-785-4140. Some select exams, like the World Language Exams and ACSM EP, must register and schedule through that test sponsor’s website – instructions will be emailed for reference.
Each major department selects their designated senior exam. Students must take a senior test for each major they are pursuing. If practice materials are available, they will be linked next to each test.
