The concentration in Cannabis Business is designed to equip students with specialized business knowledge and skills specific to the cannabis industry. Across the globe, cannabis medicalization and legalization are having a profound effect. Over half of the United States have already legalized cannabis in some form and the legal cannabis industry has been growing at a rate faster than any other industry over the past four years, becoming the single greatest job creation engine in America. However, the path to a successful cannabis business is full of confusing and complex laws and regulations, steep taxes, and many other roadblocks. There is also limited information regarding ''best practices'' in both growing and processing, as well as laboratory testing of cannabis. In addition, regulations vary from state-to-state, adding to the confusion and complexity.
