Hemp & Cannabis Business Management, Minor

The interdisciplinary minor in Cannabis Studies offers students a foundation for understanding the burgeoning cannabis industry. New Jersey is among the 34 states and the District of Columbia that currently have legal medical cannabis. In addition, 11 states (and D.C.) also have legal recreational cannabis. As a result of the swift growth in medical and recreational cannabis and recent legalization of recreational cannabis in New Jersey, Stockton students may find the cannabis industry an attractive one to enter after graduation. The minor will expose students to some of the types of employment they might pursue. As is the case with other interdisciplinary minors, this minor consists of 5 courses. All students take Introduction to Medical Cannabis in New Jersey (HACM/GEN 2347), Cannabis Law (HACM/GSS 2198), Cannabis Studies Internship Preparation (HACM/GEN 3242), and a credit-bearing internship (HACM 4950/GIS 4900). Students can intern in a wide variety of areas: cultivation, energy efficiency, small business operations, communications, social media, retail, patient research, etc. The fifth course is an elective. Students can choose an elective from HACM/GEN 2286 OR HACM/GEN 2162 OR HACM/GEN 2117 OR HACM/GEN 2394 OR HACM/GEN 1014 OR HACM/GNM 3105 OR HACM/GNM 3164 OR BSNS Elective 3000+ Level or above from: ACCT, BUSA, ENTR, ESPM, FINA, HTMS, MKTG, MGMT, PLAW OR related General Studies' courses OR from courses in the Holistic Health minor.
