"The Kaplan Educational Foundation’s Transfer Guide proves that Kaplan gets it. They truly understand both the challenges facing transfer students and the value these students bring to transfer institutions. I see this guide as a roadmap for transfer students and their families as they navigate the complexities of finding a right-fit transfer institution. I also see this guide as a resource for educators who are looking for new and better ways to meet the unique needs of transfer students." - Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner, President and CEO, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society
