Saying marijuana offers an ‘underserved career opportunity,’ WWU offering business programs

The cannabis industry has boomed across the state in recent years, so Western Washington University will offer classes to prepare for a career in the business.

Western announced in a news release that it has adopted four new certificate programs focused on career preparation and skills development through its Professional and Continuing Education program. The university is partnering with a cannabis education company called Green Flower to offer classes in the marijuana business, agriculture/horticulture, healthcare and law/policy. The programs are expected to begin in March.
