Welcome to Kirksville, Missouri— located in northeast Missouri, and home to ATSU and Truman State University. Kirksville's tight-knit community offers our students a welcoming, supportive and affordable environment where they are not just students, but a part of our community. Learn how our students experience Kirksville, from hikes at Thousand Hills State Park, to farmers market shopping, to trivia nights at the Dukum In. The Kirksville Experience is that of small town community and support, an impact that remains with our students after they graduate and become alumni.
