A new online certificate program at Stockton University in Galloway Township, New Jersey, could open doors for students anywhere in the United States who are interested in working in the fledgling cannabis industry.
The university's Office of Continuing Studies in late April 2019 launched a new certificate program in cannabis studies. School officials said it is intended to address a growing demand for information about and training for cannabis jobs.
“Maybe it can prepare them better to enter the business of their choice,” said Ekaterina Sedia, an associate professor of biology and the coordinator of the cannabis studies program. “At the very least, we hope to introduce the students to the variety of options in the field.”
Around the U.S., investors see the business of regulated cannabis as just getting started, with considerable growth expected in an expanding medical market and more states likely to allow adult use. Educational institutions are just beginning to prepare students for the hoped-for jobs.
The online, six-course series will offer training for those interested in growing, working as medical cannabis providers, or as professionals in the business or legal aspects of cannabis.
