Medgar Evers College’s Cannabis Studies Minor

Course Type: Undergradute Degree
Medgar Ever College (MEC) is the first City University of New York (CUNY) campus to offer a cannabis minor degree program, the “Introduction to the World of Cannabis,” a prerequisite course for many of the cannabis courses in this degree program. Students can choose four courses from any of the newly developed courses to earn a cannabis degree minor in one of the four different tracks. These courses provide educational opportunities not only to MEC students but to all students at the other 24 CUNY campuses via e-permits. Our core mission is to provide educational workforce development and opportunities for economic expansion for students. MEC’s cannabis minor and forthcoming adult education program will feature the skill-building instructional support needed to foster new cannabis leaders in areas of testing, cultivation, business, and health.

The School of Science and the School of Business faculty members collaborated to develop the minor in cannabis education, which will exposes students to the science, health, technical and business aspects of this new burgeoning industry. The course is designed to reveal the intersectional nature of cannabis and examine the challenges and opportunities associated with institutional cannabis reform.
