JACKSON, Mississippi — For the second year in a row and fourth overall, the University of Mount Union is pleased to have been named to the 2024 Transfer Honor Roll by the Phi Kappa Theta (PTK) Honor Society for its dynamic pathways to support transfer students. 

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 transfer, admission practices, and bachelor’s degree completion. The Transfer Honor Roll 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.

Colleges completing the PTK Connect profile are given a Transfer Friendliness Rating. The Honor Roll is chosen from among the top 25 percent of highest-rated colleges. Mount Union was one of only eight Ohio institutions and 244 across the country selected for this honor.

“I transferred to Mount Union because I wanted a sense of family and to be genuinely cared for as a student,” said Marisa Fellin ’25, a psychology major of St. Clairsville, Ohio. “Mount feels like a second home because you see the same people on campus all the time and everyone is always friendly, asking about your day and how you are doing.”
