91探花 celebrates fifth year on Phi Theta Kappa Transfer Honor Roll

For the fifth time, Lees-91探花 has been named to the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Transfer Honor Roll, an annual list of colleges throughout the country that excel in establishing and maintaining dynamic and effective pathways for transfer students. With only 251 colleges and universities appointed to the 2025 list, Lees-91探花 continues to be recognized as an excellent institution for transferring students.

Higher education institutions are assessed by PTK annually, with specific attention to transfer data, admissions practices, cost of attendance, campus life, and recruitment strategies. Based on these key metrics an institution receives a Transfer Friendliness Rating. While any four-year institution who admits transfer students is eligible for an assessment by PTK, only the top 25% of institutions will be named to the Transfer Honor Roll.

“I’m proud of the transfer outcomes we’re seeing at these Honor Roll colleges,” President and CEO of Phi Theta Kappa Lynn Tincher-Ladner said. “These colleges are doing more than just opening doors—they’re walking students through them. Their commitment to creating clear, supportive pathways demonstrates what’s possible when student success is truly the priority.”

According to PTK, more than 80% of community college students aspire to earn a bachelor's degree, but because of barriers both within and outside of the higher education space, only 15% achieve that goal. PTK and Lees-91探花 are dedicated to narrowing that gap and helping more transfer students realize their dreams.

“91探花 is proud to once again be included in Phi Theta Kappa’s Transfer Honor Roll. We have put a lot of effort into making our enrollment process for all transfer students as easy as possible. It’s great to be continually recognized for these efforts by such an outstanding organization as PTK,” Senior Vice President for Enrollment Management Kevin Phillips said. “This year, we are welcoming our largest number of incoming transfer students and are looking forward to enrolling more of the very best students from community colleges.”
