The College was named among the nation\u2019s most transfer-friendly institutions for the fifth consecutive year<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Recently, Elizabethtown College was recognized for creating dynamic and exemplary pathways to support transfer students by being named to the <\/span>Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society\u2019s (PTK) 2025 Transfer Honor Roll.<\/span><\/a> The honor marks the fifth consecutive year that Etown has earned the distinction.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to empowering transfer students to thrive from day one at Elizabethtown College,\u201d Elizabethtown College Vice President for Enrollment Management, Marketing and Communications Keri Straub said. \u201cAt Etown, we prioritize creating seamless, supportive pathways that not only ease the transition but ignite a student\u2019s ability to lead, serve, and succeed in life.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Only 251 colleges and universities earned this year\u2019s accolade, distinguishing Etown among the nation\u2019s most transfer-friendly institutions. 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 students, admission practices, and bachelor\u2019s degree completion<\/span><\/p>\n

Etown\u2019s strategic approach to ensuring a smooth transfer process for students includes enrollment agreements with several two-year colleges, including Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC), Reading Area Community College (RACC), and Harford Community College (HCC). Special visit opportunities are available for transfer students, including on-campus <\/span>Transfer Visit Days<\/span><\/a>, and the College offers exclusive transfer scholarships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The accolade was based on analysis from the National Student Clearinghouse, and on data submitted through the four-year institution\u2019s profile on <\/span>PTK Connect<\/span><\/a>, Phi Theta Kappa\u2019s online tool designed to help students find their best-fit colleges and career pathways.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of the transfer outcomes we\u2019re seeing at these Honor Roll colleges,\u201d Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, President and CEO of Phi Theta Kappa said. \u201cThese colleges are doing more than just opening doors – they\u2019re walking students through them. Their commitment to creating clear, supportive pathways demonstrates what\u2019s possible when student success is truly the priority.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Colleges completing the PTK Connect profile are given a Transfer Friendliness Rating. The Transfer Honor Roll is chosen from among the top 25 percent of highest-rated colleges.<\/span><\/p>\n
