Universities in Missouri are now offering cannabis courses for those seeking legal education.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Embracing the Need for Cannabis Courses<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the legalization of recreational marijuana in Missouri comes a rising demand for skilled professionals in cannabis-related fields. This demand is prompting educational institutions to introduce new cannabis programs and courses to meet this demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Karina Hernandez, a biology degree holder, recently enrolled in horticulture courses at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/stlcc.edu\/campus-life-community\/our-locations\/meramec\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">St. Louis Community College at Meramec<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Surprisingly, she found classes dedicated to hemp and cannabis cultivation. Hernandez expressed her excitement with her current reality of being at the forefront of the expanding and practical cannabis industry. This sentiment was echoed by many of her classmates. As with Hernandez and her colleagues at St. Louis, students (particularly in plant science) are increasingly showing interest in the cannabis plant.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Response to Industry Growth<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rising interest in this new field of study meets with a corresponding expansion of cannabis certificate programs in Missouri. While many of these programs are available online, some institutions, like Meramec, offer hands-on practicals with hemp plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A significant milestone was achieved this semester, as Truman State University, Kirksville, launched a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcur.org\/podcast\/up-to-date\/2023-10-03\/missouri-students-can-now-get-a-bachelors-degree-in-cannabis-studies\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bachelor degree program in cannabis and natural medicines<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The cannabis community has welcomed this move, commending the institution for creating an opportunity to usher in fresh cannabis experts into the expanding workforce.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Job Opportunities in the Cannabis Sector<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Missouri&#8217;s recreational marijuana sales have averaged around $120 million per month since March. These sales are likely to surpass the $1 billion mark in its first year. This significant growth means a substantial increase in job opportunities within the cannabis sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the state\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascity.com\/news\/politics-government\/election\/article267988112.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recreational use legalization vote in November<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, licensed marijuana employees have risen by almost 8,000, reaching a total of 17,615 statewide in August. Companies are actively seeking new talents, frequently recruiting students even before the completion of their programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Advanced Cannabis Courses and Certifications<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Missouri colleges have been front-liners in preparing skilled labor for the industry through advanced cannabis education and certification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, St. Louis University, in partnership with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beleafmedical.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BeLeaf Medical<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (a pioneering medical marijuana company in the state), launched online cannabis certificate programs in 2020. These programs have gained widespread attention, featuring seasoned cannabis enthusiasts, including renowned professionals like Kayla Brown, a director at Vibe Cannabis in St. Louis. The courses provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the industry in order to prepare them for various career paths.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mccneb.edu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Metropolitan Community College<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Kansas City recently joined the fray. In collaboration with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/green-flower.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Green Flower<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, California-based company, the college offers students certificates in cannabis cultivation, retail, and product development. These setups allow students to work directly with hemp plants, equipping them with firsthand cannabis experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Regulatory Challenges and Department Approval<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, due to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/crsreports.congress.gov\/product\/pdf\/IF\/IF12270\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">federal anti-marijuana regulations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, these institutions who receive federal funding are restricted from using marijuana plants for instructional purposes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But since the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/why-the-fda-wont-regulate-cbd\/?utm_source=rss&amp;amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;amp;utm_campaign=why-the-fda-wont-regulate-cbd\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2018 farm bill permits hemp<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the program uses only the hemp variant of cannabis for its practical sessions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While these cannabis courses\u00a0 are gaining traction, they must also receive approval from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dhewd.mo.gov\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Currently, only Truman&#8217;s program and Southeast Missouri State University&#8217;s in Cape Girardeau have gained the department&#8217;s approval. Other institutions like Southwest integrate cannabis and horticulture options within their agribusiness bachelor program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In her bid to stand out, Truman focuses not only on cannabis but also on natural medicine and holistic healing. This approach prepares students to explore the scientific, cultural, and legal aspects of natural medicines, aligning with a growing interest in plant-based therapies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jeff Rowse is one of the beneficiary of Saint Louis University cannabis program, with two degrees, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.slu.edu\/colleges-schools\/professional-studies\/cannabis-certificate\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saint Louis University Cannabis Science and Operations Certificate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Medical Science and Therapeutic Management Certificate. His passion for the science of cannabis made him consider this career path. For Rowse, the program\u2019s tuition is worth it. He currently works as a budtender, runs a podcast, and will be one of the lecturers at SLU in the fall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksdk.com\/article\/news\/local\/marijuana-sales-booming-so-students-enrolling-cannabis-courses\/63-d92e0c9a-9f73-4de0-882c-002395f0e12e#\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">his words to KSDK<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Rowse said, \u201cit reawakened a fire in me that I had not had anything to fuel\u2026I knew it was cannabis, but I never had the opportunity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Missouri&#8217;s Colleges Contributing to a Flourishing Cannabis Job Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cannabis industry is rapidly evolving. Missouri&#8217;s colleges are welcoming the growth by providing education and training for students to excel in this dynamic field. As marijuana sales continue to soar, these institutions are playing a crucial role in supplying the workforce with well-prepared graduates.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cannabis industry&#8217;s expansion shows no signs of slowing down. With the fast-paced growth comes an increasing demand for qualified professionals. As more states embrace legalization, the cannabis job market is set to flourish. The market is projected to introduce a wide range of opportunities from cultivation and retail to extraction and management. Students who enroll in cannabis courses today are positioning themselves for promising careers in a rapidly growing industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, 18 other higher institutions across the country offer similar cannabis training and certifications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As legal cannabis gains widespread traction, Missouri colleges prepare students for the promising future.
