JACKSON, Mississippi — Further illustrating its commitment to providing an exceptional experience for transfer students, the University of Mount Union was named to Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society’s (PTK) Transfer Honor Roll for the third consecutive year.

Mount Union, which has been named to the Honor Roll five of the past six years, was one of only 251 higher education institutions across the nation to earn this recognition and one of only 12 in Ohio.

According to a press release from PTK, 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, campus life for transfers, admission practices and bachelor’s degree completion. It was 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 students find their best-fit colleges and career pathways.

“When it came to touring Mount Union I instantly fell in love with the campus. I felt like I knew where I belonged,” said Adriana Valletta ’26, a transfer student from Mayfield Heights, Ohio. “I met with a couple different staff members on my tour and they were all so kind, welcoming, and helpful. Just from one time of being on the campus I could really tell that the staff really cares about the students.”
