Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society (PTK) named Wichita State University as one of 150 colleges and universities to its 2021 Transfer Honor Roll in recognition of the dynamic pathways it has created to support transfer students.
PTK is well known for helping high-achieving transfer students reach their goals.
This is the fourth consecutive year Wichita State has made the Honor Roll. To accomplish this, the university had to place in the top 25% of all applicants.
In addition, Wichita State has been the No. 1 transfer destination for Kansas Community College students for 10 years running, according to the Kansas Board of Regents’ transfer data.
Bobby Gandu, director of Undergraduate Admissions, says the recognition is not just based on the smooth transition process for transfer students, but it’s also a reflection of the campus-wide culture of celebrating transfer students.
“Transfer students arrive ready to learn and contribute to our classrooms, secure internships and are involved on campus,” Gandu said. “Our transfers create their own success stories from the resources that we're delighted to provide."
Wichita State University serves as the Kansas urban-based research university, enrolling more than 15,000 students from every state in the U.S. and more than 100 countries. Wichita State and WSU Tech are recognized for being student centered and innovation driven.
Located in the largest city in the state with one of the highest concentrations in the United States of jobs involving science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), Wichita State University provides uniquely distinctive and innovative pathways of applied learning, applied research and career opportunities for all of our students.
The Innovation Campus, which is a physical extension of the Wichita State University main campus, is one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing research/innovation parks, encompassing over 120 acres and is home to a number of global companies and organizations.
