Our 14-to-1 student-faculty ratio means personal attention from dedicated professors who excel at bringing out your best. And our approach works—more than 90 percent of Paul Smith’s alumni land jobs in their chosen fields or attend graduate school within six months of graduation.
SERVICE IS PART OF OUR HERITAGE
It’s part of our edu
cation; whether serving guests or the community through our environmental programs, our programs are infused with that notion.
We have a proud tradition of service with our armed forces as well. While Paul Smith’s College was being built during World War II, the campus was used as a U.S. Army Signal Corps training center. The first classes, in fact, were made up mostly of veterans taking advantage of the first GI Bill®.
Paul Smith’s Veteran Resource Center is dedicated solely to our vets for both work and play. It features an area for gaming, lounging and watching TV, as well as computers and work areas where you can concentrate.
The Marine Corps Leadership Scholar Program was formed with the express purpose of providing assistance in accelerating the admission of qualified Marines to four year, not-for-profit, colleges and universities across the nation, in an effort to offer the most expeditious route for attainment of their respective educational goals as they transition from active duty to the private sector.
