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)
An internship with local growers and distributors is included in the credits earned
towards the certificate, so that students may garner first hand experience in this
growing industry.
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.
The Medical Marijuana and Public Health certificate is pending final approval by MSCHE
(Middle States Commission on Higher Education) expected by Fall 2020.
