La Plume – For the third consecutive year, Keystone College has been recognized as a “College of Distinction” by a national company which publishes information about select institutions of higher learning.

Keystone is one of only 17 colleges in Pennsylvania selected as a 2012-2013 College of Distinction.

Colleges must meet stringent standards in each of those four key areas to be included on the site.

A link to each school’s web site and contact information is included for each listing. The 2012-13 Colleges of Distinction are also available in e-book for tablets, e-Readers, and smartphone formats.
