Medical Marijuana and Public Health Certificate
ESU students now have the opportunity to earn a Medical Marijuana and Public Health Certificate studying the growth, extraction, medical effects and sale of cannabis and non-cannabis products.
Given the evolving industry of hemp and cannabis related production in the U.S., the College of Health Sciences is pleased to announce the creation of an online certificate in Medical Marijuana and Public Health.
Courses include:
- Philosophy 121 (Bioethics)
- Health 206 (Public Health and Cannabis)
- Health 205 (Medical Cannabis: Impact and Effects)
- Management 264 (Management of a Medical Marijuana Business)
Medical marijuana became legal in the state of Pennsylvania on April 6, 2016 when approved by Governor Wolf.
There are currently 13 growers and over 20 licensed dispensaries in the state, and research studies regarding the medical benefits and possibilities for use are only now beginning nationally. ESU students have the opportunity to study with professors and licensed professionals in this newly emerging field and contribute to the growing body of research.
