College Offers Program in Therapeutic Cannabis Studies First-of-its-kind online program aimed at multiple positions in cannabis industry The University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy is offering an online undergraduate certificate program in therapeutic cannabis studies, responding to the growing demand for skilled workers in one of the nation’s fastest growing industries. URI’s online, four-course program — the first of its kind in the nation — aims to meet that demand. The online delivery model will allow for the flexibility necessary to accommodate students nationwide, as well as working professionals. The program, delivered by leaders in phytocannabinoids like CBD, consists of four 3-credit courses. The virtual laboratory experience will introduce students to state-ofthe-art equipment for cannabis chemistry analysis and testing of cannabis-related products.

The overall goal of the program is to provide graduates with an in-depth knowledge about the safe production and dissemination of cannabis-related information and products for qualified patients. Students successfully completing the course will earn a 12-credit certificate.
