UMN Morris recognized as transfer friendly institution

For a second straight year, the University of Minnesota Morris has been named to the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society (PTK) 2025 Transfer Honor Roll. This distinction recognizes UMN Morris as being among the most transfer-friendly colleges in the nation

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 highest-rated colleges.

UMN Morris is one of four Minnesota institutions to be included in the 2025 Honor Roll, which includes 251 colleges and universities across the country.

According to Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, President and CEO of Phi Theta Kappa, “These colleges are doing more than just opening doors—they’re walking students through them. Their commitment to creating clear, supportive pathways demonstrates what’s possible when student success is truly the priority.”
