GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. (CBS) — Colleges are now adding cannabis to their curriculum. Grace DeNoya is used to getting snickers when people learn she’s majoring in marijuana.
“My friends make good-natured jokes about getting a degree in weed,” said DeNoya, one of the first students in a new four-year degree program in medicinal plant chemistry at Northern Michigan University. “I say, ‘No, it’s a serious degree, a chemistry degree first and foremost. It’s hard work. Organic chemistry is a bear.'”
As a green gold rush in legal marijuana and its non-drug cousin hemp spreads across North America, a growing number of colleges are adding cannabis to the curriculum to prepare graduates for careers cultivating, researching, analyzing and marketing the herb.

Where are the degrees for craft beers?
In the context of the state of academia at present, that's probably not too wrong.
Meanwhile, China cranks out electrical, mechanical, software, and nuclear engineers at an amazing pace.
I don't think they teach Marijuana Studies at colleges in China, or India, or Iran.
You have to make your own degree in that so hops to it! :)
Probably at your community college.
“Higher Education” indeed.
Back in the 1970’s half the college student population was majoring in marijuana.
LOL
1. University of California-Davis

2. Oregon State University

3. Central Washington University
B.S. Craft Brewing, Craft Brewing Certificate
4. Appalachian State University
B.S. Fermentation Sciences (although they probably study moonshine more than craft beer)
5. San Diego State University
Business of Craft Beer Certificate
It is not funny that we are financing this!
Cue Spicoli from Ridgemont High.
They were indeed, but lots got smarter and knocked it off.
The headline is a flat-out lie, which is admitted in the middle of the article.
Garbage content.
“Where are the degrees for craft beers?”
They exist. I assure you of that.

They don’t have this area of study in China or Russia. Rather, they are studying artificial intelligence, nanotechnology and physics at a level 10-20 times of what is being studied here. And a sizable percentage of those studying these fields here are from other nations.
What’s there to know?
This might just make me change majors from gender studies.
As far as I’m concerned, Ridgemont High was a documentary.
The headline is a flat-out lie, which is admitted in the middle of the article.
Garbage content.

It’s all about clicks and not about truth. After all, who’s going to read an article captioned, “woman majors in chemistry at college”.
