Paul Smith's College
At Paul Smith's College, it's about the experience. We are the only four-year institution of higher education in the Adirondack Park. Our hands-on two-year, four-year and graduate programs - in fields including hospitality, culinary arts, forestry, natural resources, entrepreneurship and environmental sciences - draw on industries and resources available in our own backyard as a living, learning laboratory while preparing students for successful careers anywhere.
