Grand View University Named to Phi Theta Kappa 2026 Transfer Honor Roll

July 28, 2026

Grand View University has been recognized by Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society as one of 275 colleges and universities nationwide named to the 2026 Transfer Honor Roll for excellence in supporting transfer students.

The Transfer Honor Roll recognizes institutions that create strong pathways for community college students to successfully earn bachelor's degrees. Schools are evaluated using data from the National Student Clearinghouse and PTK Connect, assessing transfer student success, credit transfer, financial support, admissions practices, and campus engagement.

"This recognition reflects institutions that intentionally create opportunities for transfer students to succeed," said Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, President and CEO of Phi Theta Kappa. "Transfer student success is a strategic priority for these colleges and universities."

More than 1,100 institutions completed PTK's institutional profile this year, with only the top-performing colleges and universities earning a place on the 2026 Transfer Honor Roll. 

Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society for students at associate degree-granting colleges, recognizing academic achievement while supporting student success through scholarships, leadership development, and transfer opportunities.
