Saint Louis University
Saint Louis University, founded in 1818 by the Catholic Church and later placed under Jesuit administration, is the oldest university west of the Mississippi River, and its downtown St. Louis campus gives students direct access to the city's business, legal, and healthcare industries. The university's medical school and its affiliated hospital system have built strong regional reputations, and SLU's public health program, along with its law school, have each become significant draws for students seeking professional training within a mid-sized Catholic research university setting. SLU's Center for International Studies and its considerable Jesuit institutional network, connecting it to other Jesuit universities worldwide, reflect the university's continued emphasis on global engagement and service alongside its explicitly Catholic educational mission. The university's combination of genuine research-university breadth across medicine, law, and public health, along with its Jesuit mission and downtown St. Louis location, has made SLU one of the most academically comprehensive Catholic universities in the Midwest.
VS
Truman State University
Truman State University, founded in 1867 as a teacher-training institution, has served since 1985 as Missouri's designated statewide public liberal arts and sciences university, a formal legislative mission unusual among American public universities, most of which don't hold such a specifically defined statewide role. The university's undergraduate research opportunities and its unusually rigorous admissions standards relative to typical regional public universities have earned Truman State a reputation as one of the best academic values among public universities in the Midwest, consistently ranking near the top of "best value" public university surveys. Truman State's small size, around 5,000 students, and its designation as the state's sole liberal-arts-focused public institution give it a distinct academic identity relative to Missouri's larger, more comprehensive public research universities like Mizzou. The university's Kirksville, Missouri campus and its combination of selective admissions, small class sizes, and public in-state tuition have made Truman State a consistent draw for academically strong Missouri students seeking a rigorous liberal arts education without private-college tuition costs.
