KIRKSVILLE — Truman State University is accepting applications for five community courses for the spring 2027 semester, covering psychology, ceramics, watercolor, a book club, and Microsoft Excel. The courses are open to all students not seeking a degree. Each is offered as pass/fail, and anyone who takes one will receive one hour of college credit. Sal Costa, professor emeritus of psychology, will teach “The Psychology of Abnormal Behavior,” an eight-week course held online and in person from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays. The class will study the causes, assessment, and treatment of a variety of psychological disorders and maladaptive behaviors, with the aim of raising awareness of how those problems can affect everyday life. “Community Ceramics,” taught by William McKinney, assistant professor of art, meets from 6 to 8 p.m. Mondays for the full semester.
