The University of New Haven in Connecticut announced that it has partnered with California-based cannabis education company Green Flower to offer four online certificate programs in cannabis.

Green Flower will vet and select individuals to teach the programs, which "are developed by board-certified doctors and lawyers along with experts in engineering and agriculture,” according to the release.

"This is a unique opportunity for the university to collaborate with an industry leader in the cannabis education industry to offer in-demand certificate programs that enable individuals from a variety of fields and interests to develop specialized knowledge and skills in some of the most important areas of the cannabis industry," Danielle Wozniak, MSW, Ph.D., provost and vice president for academic affairs at the University of New Haven, said in the press release. “Trained professionals are needed to fill the jobs that are being created now, and that will be created in the future. Students will receive cutting-edge preparation in these certificate programs to prepare them to excel in this emerging and highly competitive growth market while applying ethical business practices and quality standards to the Connecticut cannabis industry."
