Paul Smiths College of Arts and Science

What are the graduation rates for students at Paul Smiths College of Arts and Science?

Paul Smith's College's reported overall graduation rate is 51%. Its separately reported four-year rate is 39%, while its six-year rate is 46%. These measures can describe different entering cohorts or reporting definitions, so they should not be read as successive outcomes for one identical group of students.

Graduation rates usually track specified groups of first-time, full-time students, not every transfer, part-time, or returning adult student. The reported student retention rate is 75%, a separate measure of whether students continue from one year to the next. Applicants comparing programs should also ask about major-specific course availability and typical time to completion; institution-wide rates cannot answer those questions.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Paul Smiths College of Arts and Science?

College Scorecard program figures report earnings measured one year after completion for federally aided former students in programs with publishable results. They are historical outcomes for particular groups, not starting-salary offers or predictions for a future graduate.

Among the reported figures, forestry has one-year median earnings of $37,225, culinary arts and related services $31,439, and environmental or natural-resources management and policy $30,327. Natural-resources conservation and research is reported at $26,663. Comparisons require care: jobs differ by location and occupation, some graduates continue their education, and small program groups may not have a publishable figure.

The college reports career support that includes individual counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruiting, and job fairs. Access to those services is distinct from an employment outcome; an applicant should ask how the services operate for the major and career path they intend to pursue.
