Towson University today announced it is one of the 251 colleges and universities that has been named to Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society’s (PTK) 2025 Transfer Honor Roll in recognition of the dynamic pathways they have created to support transfer students.

As of fall 2025, 35% of undergraduate students entered TU as transfer students, and TU is one of the leading destinations for transfer students in Maryland. The transfer admissions team provides resources for transfer students to ensure a seamless and well-informed transfer experience, including pre-transfer advising, transfer credit analysis and a variety of events to help future students get acquainted with their new school.

“Transfer students are an essential part of the Towson University community, and we’re proud to be recognized for the ways we support their success,” says Amy Moffatt, assistant vice president of admissions. “From individualized advising to dedicated events and resources, we’re committed to making the transition to TU seamless so every student can thrive from day one.”

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 transfers, 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. By being recognized on the Transfer Honor Roll, TU is among the top 25% highest-rated colleges.

“I’m proud of the transfer outcomes we’re seeing at these Honor Roll colleges,” says 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.”
