Classes
Classes are distributed across the arts, humanities, social sciences, life sciences and physical sciences, although most are interdisciplinary. Offerings in the past have included courses in: medievalism, field ecology, experimental physiology, criminology, ethnomusicology, forensic statistics, environmental chemistry, folklore and equine science. Also, challenging courses in languages less likely to be available in high school are offered, such as Russian, Italian and Latin. Specialized offerings in history, drawing, acting, computer science, mathematics, literature, and many other areas are offered, too. Courses frequently involve field trips, which in the past have included archaeological digs, Native American powows, overnight excursions to libraries, museums and theatrical performances in distant cities. Courses are taught by faculty from Truman State University, and are assisted by Truman student preceptors. Classes and professors vary from year to year.

Famous quotes containing the word classes:
“Of all reformers Mr. Sentiment is the most powerful. It is incredible the number of evil practices he has put down: it is to be feared he will soon lack subjects, and that when he has made the working classes comfortable, and got bitter beer into proper-sized pint bottles, there will be nothing left for him to do.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“There are three classes into which all the women past seventy that ever I knew were to be divided: 1. That dear old soul; 2. That old woman; 3. That old witch.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“There are four classes of idols which beset men’s minds. To these for distinction’s sake I have assigned names—calling the first class Idols of the Tribe; the second, Idols of the Cave; the third, Idols of the Market-Place; the fourth, Idols of the Theatre.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
