Cannabis Business Degree Will Be Available At A University In Michigan

Lake Superior State University via Facebook

Lake Superior State University in Michigan's Upper Peninsula is rolling out a new cannabis business degree this fall.

University President, Rod Hanley, says since Michigan legalized recreational marijuana and the federal government legalized hemp, the timing was perfect. 

"It presented a fantastic opportunity to both look at it from a scientific point of view and also an economic development or business point of view," Hanley says.

Hanley goes on to say that the courses will cover topics like government and society, business strategy, principles of selling and consumer behavior.

He says the proximity to Canada - which legalized marijuana nationwide - also factored into the decision to offer the degree.
