With in-person and fully online classes available, our Cannabis Business degree program aims to provide committed learners with quality, collegiate, and career-enhancing cannabis-based business education. We build a supportive environment that promotes personal growth, preparing graduates for successful careers and college transfer opportunities.
Cannabis Business students will focus on a combination of pathways to determine the most promising path for their careers. Students enrolled in our cannabis business courses will be exposed to all levels of vertically integrated business models through a careful examination of the science, botany, marketing, and accounting aspects of a cannabis business.
As medicinal and recreational cannabis business opportunities continue to expand, employment opportunities are emerging and growing by leaps and bounds. To take advantage of this, our online cannabis degree program prepares graduates to start their own business, work for a dispensary or grow operation, or transfer credits to earn a bachelor’s degree!
The national cannabis sales figures for 2021 ($25 billion) were about 25% of the industry’s potential. It is projected that cannabis revenue is expected to almost double in 2025, and even then it would be less than half of the total potential market.
In 2021, America’s legal cannabis industry created more than 280 new jobs every day. A person was hired for a marijuana-related job every two minutes of the work day, on average. The employment prospects in 2025 will greatly exceed this amount.
