Emily PHARR I earned my bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and psychology at Keystone College. Getting my degree in psychology at Keystone has prepared me for two of the most important and significant milestones in my life. I was able to work as a volunteer at AmeriCorps and was accepted to the graduate college of my choice. The knowledge I learned from the psychology and criminal justice departments made the perfect mixture for my masters degree in forensic and legal psychology. What made my experience at Keystone College the most meaningful was the student to teacher ratio. It always sounds like a cliché when people say that about small colleges, but it’s true! A professor being able to stop you and share they liked your work is what I believe builds that personal connection to motivation and education. What also made my Keystone College experience special was the amount of classes I was able to choose from. There was such a variety in the psychology classes, I was really able to tailor them to what would prepare me best for life after college. After graduation, I left feeling confident and prepared with the knowledge and experiences I gained at Keystone College.
