Academics
Paul Smith's College is organized into three major academic divisions: the School of Forestry and Natural Resources (FNNR), the Division of Hospitality, Resort and Culinary Management (HRCM), and the Division of Sciences, Liberal Arts and Business (SLAB). Each division offers two- and four-year degree programs.
Classes are held in up to seven buildings on campus; these include the main classroom buildings at Pickett Hall, Cantwell Hall, and Freer Science Hall. Auxiliary areas include The Joan Weill Adirondack Library, The RATE Classroom, The campus' sawmill, Saratoga Hall, The Saunders Sports Complex, and The Joan Weill Student Center.
Students in the Culinary Arts and Hospitality programs have the unique opportunity to earn academic credit for hands-on experience in operating a campus restaurant, The St. Regis cafe. Open to the public, it serves American cuisine during the week when courses are in session and throughout the summer.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
