林业
Built on a longstanding Adirondack tradition, forestry education at Paul Smith’s College equips students with a foundation of technical, field-based and applied education that combines theory and practice.
Bachelor’s 学位s are offered in three concentrations:
- Ecological Forest Management prepares students for positions with government forestry agencies, forestry consulting firms and non-governmental organizations.
- Forest Operations is a fit for students interested in working for forest-products companies or running their own forest-products firm.
- Forest Biology is ideal for students who plans to continue to graduate school and specialize in a field such as forest ecology or forest entomology.
All forestry graduates complete a rigorous curriculum that also includes coursework in communications, liberal arts and sciences to develop an ethic of citizenship and a current mix of marketable professional skills. It’s easy to switch between concentrations during the first year.
