Phi Theta Kappa is working to not only level the playing field for these students, but to change it.

Through programs and activities including Transfer Edge, PTK Connect, the PTK Transfer Honor Roll, and PTK’s online and in-person Transfer Fair activities, Phi Theta Kappa and our four-year college partners are working to equip students to navigate transfer to institutions where they are most likely to find success.

Student success does not happen by accident—it is the result of intentional programming, activities, resources, and partnerships. So, on behalf of Phi Theta Kappa and our almost four million members, thank you for taking this bold step to be a PTK Partner in Excellence.

PTK BY THE NUMBERS

At Phi Theta Kappa, over 70% of members successfully transfer.

This level of student success happens when students move beyond the transactional behavior of going to class and begin engaging with their college experience in a meaningful way – a transformative way.

PTK attributes the success of our students in large part to membership engagement:

• provides experiences and support to students to build their self-efficacy, • supports financial pathways to transfer, and • helps students deepen their connections with their community college, its faculty, and their peers.

“Not only did Mississippi State University have transfer recruiters at the Transfer Fair at PTK Catalyst 2023 in Ohio, it had a large presence from its Bagley College of Engineering. This opportunity allowed me to ask questions and build relationships. As I plan to major in mechanical engineering, representatives from this esteemed department made me feel genuinely supported as well as coached for engagement and success. It felt like home!

The Transfer Fair confirmed my decision to transfer to MSU. Go Dawgs!”
