Phi Theta Kappa

Phi Theta Kappa is committed to actively encouraging completion of a college credential, an associate degree or certificate, among community college students. We are counting on our army of scholars to take the lead in this initiative. Start today by making your personal commitment to complete and encouraging others to do the same.
 


Practicing What They Teach

At a time when few college students are completing their degrees, three Phi Theta Kappa Regional Coordinators are seeking advanced degrees, serving as role models for their students and as examples to their peers that it's never too late to finish what you've started.

 Why Complete
