Pitt-Bradford was honored for supporting transfer students

The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford is one of 228 colleges and universities in the nation honored by the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society for the pathways it has created to support transfer students.

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’s degree completion.

This is the fourth time Pitt-Bradford has been recognized. It was also the only public university in Pennsylvania that was recognized.

Pitt-Bradford provides an extensive database of courses at other universities for students to find potential transfer credits. It also has specific transfer agreements with 9 community and two-year colleges and offers merit scholarship for transfer students.

“We do our very best to be transfer-friendly, knowing that students are looking to us to help them earn a Pitt degree without losing out on credits they have already earned at other colleges,” said Bob Dilks, director of transfer and nontraditional student recruitment. “Our goal is to make the transfer process as seamless as possible.”
