College Spotlight-Transylvania University

Transylvania 4

I recently had the opportunity to view a presentation for counselors sponsored by Transylvania University located in downtown Lexington, Kentucky.  I was not at all familiar with this university and found it be a hidden gem.  “Transy” is a small private college with an enrollment of 1,000 students.  It has 46 majors and Division III sports.  I am interested in schools that support students academically, financially and socially and Transy does that.  The following are the reasons I was impressed by the school.

  • Meets full financial need.
  • Tuition is locked in from Freshman year.
  • Majority of students graduate in 4 years.
  • Guarantee that students will graduate in 4 years.
  • Will cover the cost of additional time  for students who may not be able to graduate in 4 years
  • Students receiving instituional scholarships will not lose their scholarship if they drop below the GPA requirement.
  • Test Optional for admission and scholarshps.
  • Focus on diversity and inclusion with 20% students of color.
  • Average class size is 16.
  • Student faculty ratio is 11:1.
  • Partners with University of Kentucky for student activities which is less than 3 miles away.
  • Focuses on community involvement.
  • Applications are free.
  • Can create your own major.
