Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society has once again named Oglethorpe University to its Transfer Honor Roll as one of the most transfer-friendly schools in the U.S. Oglethorpe was one of only 251 schools in the country to make the 2025 list and one of only two Georgia institutions.

“Transfer students enhance the fabric of Oglethorpe’s community, bringing an enthusiasm for learning that enriches our classrooms and campus,” said Ginger Fay, vice president of enrollment management at Oglethorpe. “We are honored to be recognized by Phi Theta Kappa for the sixth year in a row for our work to support transfer students as they continue their educations.”

The premier honor society for two-year college students, Phi Theta Kappa annually selects the four-year colleges and universities that have demonstrated a commitment and investment in resources to support transfer students and their success.

The Transfer Honor Roll is determined by 40 key metrics related to the support and success of transfer students, including college cost and financial aid, success rates of transfer students, and campus friendliness and sense of belonging.

The honor roll is based on analysis from the National Student Clearinghouse and on data submitted through the four-year institution’s profile on PTK Connect, Phi Theta Kappa’s online tool designed to help these high-achieving transfer students find their best-fit colleges and career pathways.

Students can use the ratings to gauge how a college supports transfer students, the number of transfer students enrolled at that college, and whether the school could be a good fit.

“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.”
