The Cannabis Studies major offers students an opportunity to explore the historical, cultural, social, political, and legal contexts of cannabis through social and environmental justice frameworks. Students in our interdisciplinary major will find an engaged faculty from 18 academic fields who will prepare students to be stewards of social change in complex policy landscapes.
Committed to the goals of liberal arts degrees, the Cannabis Studies program helps students develop skills in critical and analytic thinking, writing, communication with diverse communities, as well as critical engagement with science and research. These skill sets are valued across areas of employment and advanced study. Students who graduate from our program are prepared for a broad range of professional pathways inside and outside those related to Cannabis, including public policy and law, equity and justice advocacy, human services and regulatory agency work, research, as well as master’s or doctoral programs. The Cal Poly Humboldt Cannabis Studies major does not include training or curriculum in cultivating, processing, or selling cannabis.
