JACKSON, Mississippi — For the fourth consecutive year, the University of Mount Union has been recognized by Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) by being named to its annual Transfer Honor Roll for its dedication to transfer student excellence.

Mount Union is one of 275 colleges and universities named to PTK’s Honor Roll and one of only 13 institutions in Ohio recognized.

According to a press release from PTK, colleges are assessed across five unique components: 

• Transfer student success outcomes
• Credit mobility and degree applicability
• Financial support for transfer students
• Recruitment and admissions practices
• Campus engagement and support for transfer students

 
“Recognition matters because it shines a light on what works,” said Heather Yush, senior director of college relations for Phi Theta Kappa. “When colleges are recognized for transfer excellence, they create powerful examples that inspire other institutions to strengthen their own transfer pathways. Ultimately, that means more students earn the bachelor’s degrees they set out to achieve.”
