With legal weed becoming a billion dollar business in New Jersey, Stockton University will this fall become the state’s first four-year institution to offer a cannabis-focused undergraduate degree.
The Bachelor of Science in Hemp and Cannabis Business Management will be under Stockton’s School of Business, the university announced Wednesday.
“This year, New Jersey is on track to sell over $1 billion of cannabis products,” said Stockton Adjunct Professor Rob Mejia. “You have to pay attention to a $1 billion business. Cannabis and hemp being so unique and regulated, you have to have special skills in order to get involved and be successful in the industry.”
