GREENVILLE, Pa.—Thiel College has been named to Phi Theta Kappa’s 2024 Transfer Honor Roll, which recognizes excellence in the development and support of dynamic and innovative pathways for community college transfer students.
Thiel College is one of just 20 in the state named to Phi Theta Kappa’s 2024 Transfer Honor Roll. This year, 228 colleges and universities from around the country were named to the list.
Thiel College was selected as being among the most transfer-friendly colleges in the nation, which was determined by a review of the College’s admissions practices, cost of attendance, campus life, recruitment practices, and student reviews.
“The goal of most students attending community college is a bachelor’s degree, but few do because of financial barriers and the complexities of the transfer process,” 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.”
