Ganjapreneur: University of Cincinnati offering cannabis studies certificate program
UC launches program that covers cannabis history, culture, society and regulatory topics
The University of Cincinnati is among the first universities to offer a certificate in cannabis studies.
A News Record article about the unique program was picked up by Ganjapreneur, an online medium for cannabis industry news.
The certificate is offered through the horticulture program in the College of Design, Art, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP)'s School of Planning as a response to an increasing need for knowledgeable graduates familiar with cannabis as the industry becomes more mainstream. It offers students a multi-disciplinary foundation for understanding the cannabis plant and the cannabis industry, enabling them to more readily gain employment in one of its many subfields.
