Overview

The Cannabis Biology and Chemistry program is beneficial to students who desire to work on the scientific side of the cannabis industry. The program can be tailored to individual student needs and future directions (doctoral program, analytical laboratory, research laboratory, etc.).The majority of the coursework is centered around cannabis, but elective courses can expand the student's knowledge in scientific areas beyond cannabis. Colorado State University Pueblo students choose our program for many reasons:

Reputation and quality of faculty
Small class size and access to faculty
Modern facilities and state-of-the-art technology

Professional advising staff

Goals

The objective of the program is to produce students prepared for a career in the scientific side of the cannabis industry. Graduates will be well versed in several scientific aspects of cannabis (separations, pharmacology, etc.) and will be prepared to undertake a career in the industry or to further their education in a doctoral program.

Since the program requires the completion of a thesis, graduates will have full understanding of the application of the scientific method to scientific research, especially in the area of experimental design, experimentation, and data-driven decision making. Graduates will also be adept at preparation and presentation of scientific materials.
