Is Culinary Arts and Related Services at Paul Smiths College of Arts and Science Worth It?

Verdict: AVOID. The numbers do not work for Culinary Arts and Related Services at Paul Smiths College of Arts and Science. With $24,080 in debt and only $35,000 in first-year earnings, the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.69x puts graduates in a difficult financial position. Even by year five ($47,250), the earning power does not justify the cost. Look at this major at a less expensive school, or consider a major with stronger earnings potential.
