Maryland University of Integrative Health

The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Cannabis Science: Therapeutics, Product Design, and Quality Assurance is one of the few graduate programs in the U.S. dedicated solely to studying cannabis, and the only one that addresses cannabis through an herbal medicine and health and wellness lens. The coursework emphasizes developing research literacy and focuses on cannabis health effects, safety, formulation, and quality assurance. The program integrates cannabis legacy knowledge with the research from herbal medicine and cannabis fields necessary to develop innovative strategies for commercializing safe and effective cannabis products. Unique to this program, students investigate ways to combine cannabis with other herbs to optimize health benefits and reduce risks. The certificate benefits from MUIH’s 20 years of experience offering graduate-level herbal medicine programs. Our herbal program faculty are specifically qualified to discuss cannabis within the framework of herbal medicine principles and practices, something quite distinct from a conventional medical or pharmaceutical perspective.
