UA cannabis certificate program teaches skills for legal marijuana industry

The University of Arizona is going green by adding new courses this spring, teaching students the skills needed to work in the legal marijuana industry. They were able to create the noncredit Cannabis Certificate Program by partnering with the cannabis education company, Green Flower. Dr. Craig Wilson, vice provost for Online, Distance and Continuing Education said the university decided to ensure students interested in pursuing careers receive credible cannabis education.

“This, like other hot industries deserves a workforce that’s trained, prepared and professional. Here at the University of Arizona, we look forward to being a part of the conversation,” Wilson said.
