Biology

In addition to providing the required knowledge base, Paul Smith's B.S. program in Biology teaches students how to formulate questions, how to observe and record natural phenomena, how to analyze and evaluate data, and how to draw conclusions from scientific results. In the spirit of our hands-on, experiential approach to learning, Paul Smith's students have full access to a unique "living laboratory" which includes 14,200 acres of college-owned forests, wetlands, lakes, and streams. They are encouraged to study natural habitats and environmental issues first-hand, often within walking distance of their dormitories.
The General Biology Concentration allows students to focus their degree preparing for post-baccalaureate studies in medicine, dentistry, medical technology and other health related professions. Students are also encouraged to design their own specialization in biology by combining courses from several programs. The Concentration in Ecology & Field Biology prepares students for entry-level positions that involve activities such as species and habitat assessments, whereas the Concentration in Conservation Science qualifies students to design and implement strategies for sustainable use and restoration of biological resources such as forest ecosystems or even entire landscape complexes.
