The Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society named Pacific to its 2025 Transfer Honor Roll, which recognizes 251 colleges and universities nationwide for their exceptional support of transfer students. Pacific, which has made the honor roll each year since 2021, is one of just two schools in Oregon, and one of six in the Northwest, named to the list.
The Pacific University Office of Transfer Student Services is open to help all transfer students successfully transition and succeed in their Pacific University experience—and to assist every step of the way towards graduation. In addition, as advocates and representatives for students, the office plays an active role in communicating and working with both internal and external constituencies regarding transfer student issues.
