Tau Sigma is an academic honor society designed specifically to "recognize and promote the academic excellence and involvement of transfer students." By establishing chapters at four-year institutions across the country, Tau Sigma is able to recognize the academic achievement of the most outstanding transfers nationwide and, in the process, help universities better serve their transfer populations.
Tau Sigma members are perhaps the greatest resource available to serve the current and future transfers at your institution. Tau Sigma was approved as an official student organization through the Committee on Student Organizations (COSO) in Spring 2019. More information on how to join coming soon.
Transfer applicants are students who graduated from high school and are presently or have been enrolled at another college or university, as well as students who would like to pursue a second bachelor’s degree.
