Paul Smith's College is a private college located in the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York. Paul Smith's offers both four-year and two-year programs in many fields, including hotel & restaurant management, culinary arts, natural resources, fisheries and wildlife science, forestry, recreation, biology, and business. The college was founded by a bequest of Phelps Smith, son of Apollos Smith, whose Paul Smith's Hotel was a famous 19th century establishment. The first class was matriculated in 1946.

Based on the original hotel's business model, Paul Smith's College specializes in natural sciences, hotel management and culinary arts. Paul Smith was known as a guide and story teller, among many other things, and his wife, Lydia, was behind all the details of the highest class service at the hotel. This background was the basis for Phelps Smith's idea of the college. Along with the money to start a school, Phelps also left more than 20,000 acres (80 km²) of land. Paul Smith's is located northwest of Saranac Lake, New York, in the hamlet of Paul Smiths in the Town of Brighton.

Paul Smiths College offers Bachelor’s programs including Biology, Business, Culinary Arts and Service Management, Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences, Forestry, Hotel, Resort and Tourism Management, Natural Resources, and Recreation, Adventure Travel and Ecotourism (RATE).
