Adelphi Named to Phi Theta Kappa's 2020 Transfer Honor Roll

Adelphi University has been named one of 123 colleges and universities on Phi Theta Kappa’s 2020 Transfer Honor Roll—and one of only three on the list from New York state.

The Transfer Honor Roll recognizes four-year colleges and universities that have developed transfer pathways that lead to excellence and success among community college transfer students. Colleges were selected based on their Transfer Friendliness Rating, which is determined by the Transfer Profile they create in Phi Theta Kappa Connect.

“The Transfer Honor Roll reflects the growing importance of recognizing and responding to the needs of transfer students,” Phi Theta Kappa president and CEO Lynn Tincher-Ladner, PhD, said. “This award is given to four-year colleges and universities with proven outcomes for transfer success.”

This award is beneficial to the admissions community at Adelphi because it gives the school’s profile a Transfer Friendliness Rating that they can use internally to gauge how friendly their admissions and recruitment strategies are.

Future transfer students will now easily be able to answer questions about admissions practices, cost of attendance, campus life, recruitment practices and peer reviews, which all play a role in the qualification of the award in the first place.
