Cannabis Business Certificates
NYU School of Professional Studies Boasts a New Offering for 2023

Available in the Summer 2023 semester, the opportunity promises to "foster an in-depth understanding of the cannabis industry and its professional opportunities." It will prep the next generation of consumers for the world of cannabis, including cultivation techniques, how to manage a dispensary, financial regulations, medical cannabis, as well as cooking with cannabis. The cannabis business certificate is part of the institution's continuing education program. NYU School of Professional Studies has developed this program, in collaboration with industry professionals and thought leaders—"many of whom will also teach the courses."
