Eastern offers its students one of the first Cannabis Cultivation and Chemistry minors in Connecticut.
The widespread acceptance of non-intoxicating Cannabis (CBD) and the legalization of recreation THC within Connecticut and large portions of the United States has created new employment and academic opportunities. This program uses hands-on and theoretical approaches to train students to cultivate and chemically analyze cannabis or hemp. In addition to instruction in cannabis cultivation and chemical analysis, students can also learn about the related fields of sustainability, public health and policy, plant taxonomy, mycology, genetics, integrated pest management, biotechnology, and data analysis. In addition to employment opportunities, students will be prepared for cannabis-related graduate school opportunities.
