When it comes to cookie-cutter colleges, Paul Smithâs is anything but. In fact, weâre the only 4-year college inside the boundaries of the world-famous âforever wildâ Adirondacks.
Students at Paul Smithâs College experience a hands-on education that combines proven career training with a meaningful exploration of self, society and the earth:
if youâre a forestry major, youâll play a role in the sustainable management of the collegeâs 14,000-acre property
if youâre a fisheries and wildlife science major, you will learn to tag and track different species
if youâre an entrepreneurial business studies major, you will write a working business plan for a local operation
Living and learning here requires a special kind of student â someone who values the abundance of our natural landscape and embraces our spirit of creative self-reliance. We call ourselves Smitties. Sounds like you? Letâs talk!
