Published: 

For its work creating dynamic pathways to support transfer students, Le Moyne is among 251 colleges and universities named to Phi Theta Kappa’s 2025 transfer honor roll. This is the second consecutive year Le Moyne has been on the honor roll. (Learn more and see the 2025 honor roll at this link.)

The 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. It is based on analysis from the National Student Clearinghouse and on data submitted through the four-year institution’s profile using Phi Theta Kappa’s online tool that helps students find their best-fit colleges and career pathways.

The transfer honor roll recognizes the importance of creating strong transfer pathways that lead to excellence and success among community college transfer students, and this year’s winners had exceptional outcomes, including:

  • Average percent of transfer in undergraduate population – 56%
  • Average bachelor’s degree completion rate among transfers – 75%
  • Average credit transferred toward a degree major and/or plan – 81%
  • Average percent of transfer students receiving merit-based financial aid – 74%

“I’m proud of the transfer outcomes we’re seeing at these honor roll colleges,” said Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, president and CEO of Phi Theta Kappa. “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.”

Phi Theta Kappa is the first honor society recognizing the academic achievement of students at associate degree-granting colleges and helping them to grow as scholars and leaders. The society is made up of more than 4.4 million members and nearly 1,250 chapters in 11 countries, with approximately 220,000 active members in the nation’s colleges.
