The bachelor of science in Cannabis Business provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to launch a business in the rapidly expanding industry related to cannabis. This program is designed for future managers, supervisors, and entrepreneurs in a cannabis enterprise. The program has at its foundation the basics of business and business management and then applies those principles to specific cannabis businesses such as cultivation facilities and dispensaries.
