MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Faulkner University has been named to the Phi Theta Kappa 2026 Transfer Honor Roll, earning national recognition for its commitment to helping community college transfer students successfully complete bachelor's degrees.
Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society recognized only 275 four-year colleges and universities nationwide.
The Transfer Honor Roll is one of the nation's most comprehensive recognitions of transfer excellence. Institutions are evaluated using data from the National Student Clearinghouse along with information collected through PTK Connect, Phi Theta Kappa's online platform that connects high-achieving community college students with transfer opportunities.
The Honor Roll assesses colleges and universities in five key areas:
- Transfer student success outcomes
- Credit mobility and degree applicability
- Financial support for transfer students
- Recruitment and admissions practices
- Campus engagement and support for transfer students
“This recognition is about much more than transfer agreements,” said Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, president and CEO of Phi Theta Kappa. “Successful transfer happens when institutions intentionally design policies, practices and campus cultures that help students thrive after they arrive. These colleges have demonstrated that transfer student success is not accidental. It is a strategic priority.”
Faulkner University's inclusion on the 2026 Phi Theta Kappa Transfer Honor Roll reflects the university's commitment to providing a seamless transfer experience while equipping students to achieve their academic and professional goals through a Christ-centered education.
