He returned to the United States for higher education and received his B.A. from College of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif. in 1933. He subsequently went on to earn a M.A. in Theology in 1936 from Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, Calif. and eventually a PhD. in 1944 from the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Keislar taught Educational Psychology first at Princeton University, then at Tufts University and finally at UCLA from which he retired in 1983 after 35 years of service.
