Cannabis Biology & Chemistry: Analytical Concentration, Bachelor of Science
The major in Cannabis Biology and Chemistry leads to a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. The major is a rigorous, interdisciplinary degree that has solid foundations in both biology and chemistry. In addition, a variety of supporting and general education courses are available to meet a wide range of interests, backgrounds and needs. The Cannabis Biology and Chemistry program prepares students to enter the workforce as scientists or technicians in a wide variety of different laboratories including agricultural and food, biology, chemistry, environmental science, and cannabis.
The Analytical emphasis leads to a CBC BS degree for those with more interest in chemistry.
