St. Cloud State University has been named to Phi Theta Kappa‘s Transfer Honor Roll for the seventh consecutive year.
The recognition highlights the University’s success in creating pathways for community college transfer students to earn bachelor’s degrees.
The Honor Roll measures how well institutions support transfer students from admission through graduation, assessing criteria like credit mobility, financial support and campus engagement.
“We have intentionally designed policies and created a campus culture that helps transfer students thrive after they arrive,” said Jacob Kolb, associate director of transfer admissions at SCSU. “Being honored by Phi Theta Kappa every year since 2020 shows our work is making a direct impact on student success.”
Transfer student make up about 43 percent of SCSU’s total enrollment. Over the past three years, over 2,600 students have transferred to SCSU, with an average increase of about 3 percent per year.
St. Cloud State is one of only two Minnesota State institutions named to the 2026 Honor Roll, joined by Metro State University in St. Paul. SCSU is one of three public universities in Minnesota and one of 275 colleges and universities nationwide to be honored this year.
