Keystone College Top Questions

What are the academics like at your school?

Tara

The academics here are probably in the top three best things about Keystone. Since the classes are small (mine are normally seven to ten people), the teacher knows me and my learning style. We learn as a group instead of as individuals. It is really helpful when you need extra help or everybody doesn't understand something. Since it is a small group we can discuss a topic with a teacher so that we understand or we can ask the teacher to adpat the way the lessons are being taught. If something can't be done within the class, the teachers are more than willing to meet with anyone outside of class time. This has made it easier to understand material and ask for help when needed. It is kind of like a mini-family in each class where everyone including the teacher helps each other and works together.

When i came to Keystone, i had no clue what i wanted to do as a career. I was a psychology major and didnt really take to the classes i was in. My advisor told me about a major called Social Science. Its a broad major that includes Psychology, Sociology, and Anthropology. I had never eeven considered anthropology classes but when i took my first one, i was hooked! The teachers are amazing and really try to help students get the most out of thier college experience. I would have never considered this major but my advior/teacher remember me talking to her about my love for people, culture, and the Peace Corps. The course requirements for my major allow me to take a wide range of classes and allow me to experience classes i would never consider taking.

Most classes are small and discussion based. I have a relationship with most, if not all of my professors and they all know my name. After bouncing around majors for a bit, I found Sports and Recreation Management and really love it. The professors in SRM are really helpful and really want their students to succeed.

Keystone is a small school with about 1800 students. Since we are a small college, as a student I recieve a lot of one on one with the professors. Each professor has their own unique stories about their lives and always seem to find a way to help us prepare for real world issues. The proffesors always make time from their busy scheadule to meet with us and help us with any situation we may have in oor outside of the classroom.

The academics in my major (criminal justice) are great here. Alot of informations that are very helpful for the future. Some of my professors are great, you actually get a chance to interact with them professionally and personally. Out of all my criminal justice classes I have recieved an A or B in, except for one I got a C+. That class itself would have gone better if a different professor had taught it (in my opinion). All of my other random class (depending what they are) to me are just things that I "brush" to the side. As for my cj classes I take them seriously.

Here at Keystone College the professors do know your name unlike a big school with 400 kids in one class we only have 30-35 kids maximum in one class. I enjoy having the professors know your name because if you ever go to them for help with homework, to study for a test, or to just help you with whatever subject he/she teaches. Unlike big schools and big classes professors don't even know your name, let alone know if you attend his/her class everyday or even miss classes.

My academic advisor also happened to be my teacher for many of my classes so he clearly knows my name. But over all because of our small class sizes our teachers do know our names and still know them after we have moved on from their class. My favorite class I have taken so far is wildlife and fisheries biology. This class taught me so much and had the most firsthand experiences with. The education here is directed towards both getting a job and learning and gaining skills for your future.

Classes at keystone are small and hands-on. Professors know your name and truly care about your grades and participation. Having small class sizes enable the professor to get to know you, how you are best successful and engaging classroom discussions. Having a secure job when you graduate from college is always a question people have and are concerned about. Keystone ensures you will have no issue getting a job after graduation and this happens because of the Professors to the help the college gives you. Keystone offers workshops and general guidance to prepare yourself for job interviews. This incudes resume building to moc interviews. Overall, academics at Keystone are superb and I feel I am being prepared, pushed and geared for a very successful future.

Keystone academics are good because of the small class sizes

Raisha

The academics at Keystone are very good but challenging. The science classes especially are hard because there is so much information to learn but the teachers do a very good job of explaining every topic. The professors are also all very riendly and they will help you with anything. If you have a problem with homework or a paper tey will schedule appointments with you to help you understand everything and get you work done.

Charlie

I love almost every single one of my classes that I have had or am currently taking. The professors get to know you by name, know what you want to do, what you dreams are. They joke with you and will help you in anyway that they can.
