Flexible Coursework Online plus Immersive Short Residencies

Designed with adult learners in mind, our Master’s of Sustainable Tourism Management can be completed in just over one calendar year. Most coursework is delivered online for easy access from any location, and learning is reinforced in two short residencies that immerse students in the unique natural landscape on and around the Paul Smith’s College campus and another dynamic sustainable tourism destination at the end of the program. These onsite sessions build deep connections and professional networks with faculty and peer students while allowing learners to continue their careers and personal lives wherever they live. Recent graduates, military veterans, and full-time professionals can all achieve an advanced degree without sacrificing their ability to earn an income.

Faculty + Staff

Paul Smith's professor teaching student to use climbing equipmentWe, the Faculty at Paul Smith’s College, strive to preserve an exceptional way of teaching and learning informed by the real work of humanity – to be environmentally and socially responsible to the planet and its people. Our way crosses all disciplines, explores connections, and expresses itself confidently in thoughts, words, and deeds. At the core of our experiential education, we hold these values to be indispensable: a) a deepened engagement with our students, it is real and in place; b) an integrated education that cultivates the student as a whole being in mind, body, heart, and soul; and c) the history, culture and environment of the Adirondacks as a place that speaks to our deeper sense of self and purpose. We strive to preserve our way and our values to be a universal example that connections of people with people and of people with environments is at the heart of education.
