FARMINGTON — The University of Maine at Farmington has been recognized as one of the most transfer-friendly colleges in the nation by Phi Theta Kappa, the official honor society for community colleges. UMF has been named to the honor society’s 2024 Transfer Honor Roll for excellence in the development and support of innovative pathways that help community college students easily transfer to the four-year university, according to a news release.
UMF created a highly personalized transfer student counseling process that focuses on the whole student, their academic and life experience, career and creative interests and personal goals, the news release stated.
The Phi Theta Kappa 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, admission practices and bachelor’s degree completion.
