Le Moyne Recognized on Phi Theta Kappa Transfer Honor Roll

Published: 

Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society has named Le Moyne one of 275 four-year colleges and universities to its 2026 Transfer Honor Roll. The honor roll recognizes institutions that demonstrate exceptional success in creating pathways for community college transfer students to earn bachelor’s degrees.

Colleges are assessed across five dimensions shown to influence transfer success:

  • 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

“This recognition is about much more than transfer agreements,” said Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, PTK president and CEO. “Successful transfer happens when institutions intentionally design policies, practices, and campus cultures that help students thrive after they arrive. These colleges have demonstrated that transfer student success is not accidental. It is a strategic priority.”

The 2026 Honor Roll institutions demonstrated exceptional performance across multiple measures of transfer success. Among this year’s recognized institutions:

  • Average percentage of transfer students in the undergraduate population: 56%
  • Average bachelor’s degree completion rate for transfer students: 77%
  • Average percentage of transferred credits applied toward a degree: 88%
  • Average percentage of transfer students receiving merit-based financial aid: 76%

Recognized by the American Association of Community Colleges as the official honor society for two-year colleges, PTK is the nation’s largest honor society in higher education, with more than 4.5 million members and nearly 1,200 chapters in 11 countries, including approximately 220,000 active members in colleges today. Learn more about PTK and see a list of institutions that were recognized here.
