Phi Theta Kappa at Chesapeake College
While not a formal part of the honors program, many Chesapeake College honors students are also members of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), the international honor society for two-year colleges. Admission into PTK is by invitation only to students who possess a 3.5 cumulative GPA or higher with at least 12 completed credits at Chesapeake College. After joining PTK, students must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA to remain in the society. Invitations are sent out within the first few weeks of each fall and spring semester via Skipjack student email
PTK gives you:
- Connections with other high-achieving students on campus
- The opportunity to hold positions within the society at the local, regional, national, and international level
- Access to regional and national conferences
- The ability to compete for over $1 million in available scholarship money when you graduate from Chesapeake College
- A wavier on the institutional application fee for PTK society members when applying for transfer to many four-year colleges
You do not have to be a Chesapeake College honors program student to be a member of PTK (but many enjoy membership in both programs).
