Higher education is taking on a new meaning in New York after the state legalized the recreational use of marijuana.<\/p>\n

Colleges and universities are adding new courses about cannabis to the syllabus to prepare students for jobs in the budding industry. And they\u2019re not just offering tokin\u2019 lessons on the history of weed, either.<\/p>\n

Online Excelsior College<\/a> is marketing new master\u2019s degree courses in marijuana leading to a graduate certificate in \u201cCannabis Control,\u201d as well as expanding undergraduate classes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in the space to educate people about the cannabis industry. Cannabis will be a multi-billion industry in New York by 2025,\u201d Scott Dolan, the dean of Excelsior College\u2019s graduate program, told The Post.<\/p>\n

Marijuana is expected to be sold in local stores and pot shops sometime next year.<\/p>\n

Dolan said graduate students will learn about the complexities that the marijuana industry will have to operate in, including complying with numerous government regulations.<\/p>\n

Aside from direct pot growers, suppliers and sellers, he said accountants, lawyers, health professionals and people in the insurance industry would benefit from taking courses that address social<\/a> equity, environmental sustainability, corporate responsibility and public finance.<\/p>\n

There are also legal issues that have to be navigated<\/p>\n

\u201cMarijuana is still illegal at the federal level,\u201d Dolan noted.<\/p>\n

Weed is also turning into fertile ground for New York\u2019s public university systems, whose colleges offer degrees in agriculture and law, biology, medicine and business.<\/p>\n

Currently, 10 different SUNY campuses offer courses tied to the marijuana and hemp industries.<\/p>\n

The number of cannabis courses, certificate and training programs and degrees offered to students will \u201cabsolutely\u201d increase to match students with new jobs in the emerging marijuana industry, said SUNY Chancellor James Malatras.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission is to provide access to students to meet workforce demands,\u201d Malatras said in a Sunday interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a simple matter. This a seismic shift in the law,\u201d added Malatras.<\/p>\n

SUNY\u2019s Farmingdale campus is offering a new Cannabis Production and Management Certificate, which was just app<\/a>roved by the state Education Department in February.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, SUNY\u2019s upstate Morrisville College launched a 15-credit Cannabis Industry minor degree program, first launched in the fall of 2019,.<\/p>\n

Stony Brook U. also offers a biology course called \u201cCannabis: History, Culture, Science<\/a> and Medicinal Uses,\u201d while Finger Lakes Community College\u2019s Horticulture program just added the Cannabis Biology and Cultivation course to its track.<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s flagship private colleges also see opportunity in grass.<\/p>\n

NYU\u2019s Stern School Business started a \u201cCannaBusiness\u201d for students and alumni that \u201cwill provide unparalleled access to industry professionals and corporate sponsors through Stern-hosted networking events and career panels,\u201d the school\u2019s website says.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Ithaca-based Cornell University, which has a strong agricultural research program supporting farm-rich upstate, offers a course titled \u201cCannabis: Biology, Society and Industry.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
