Phi Theta Kappa recognizes Chatham University for excellence in support of transfer students

Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society (PTK) has named Chatham University to the 2024 Transfer Honor Roll in recognition of the dynamic pathways created to support transfer students at Chatham. With only 228 colleges recognized, the Transfer Honor Roll is selected among the top 25 percent of highest-rated colleges and celebrates the importance of creating strong transfer pathways that lead to excellence and success among transfer students.

The Transfer Honor Roll is determined by 40 key metrics related to the support and success of transfer students, including college cost and financial aid, campus life for transfer, admission practices, and bachelor’s degree completion. The Transfer Honor Roll was based on analysis from the National Student Clearinghouse and on data submitted through the four-year institution’s profile on PTK Connect, Phi Theta Kappa’s online tool designed to help students find their best-fit colleges and career pathways.

“The goal of most students attending community college is earning a bachelor’s degree, but few do because of financial barriers and the complexity of the transfer process,” says Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, President and CEO of Phi Theta Kappa. “We are proud to recognize the exceptional colleges and universities that go above and beyond to create accessible pathways to bachelor’s degree completion for community college transfer students.”
