 LIM College in New York will be the first college in the United States to offer a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) of Cannabis degree.
The college has traditionally focused on the business of fashion, but the school has turned its focus to preparing students for the explosive cannabis industry. The LIM Business Department Chair Michael P. Londrigan said, “Skills and experience in fashion marketing, retail, supply chain and distribution have always been adaptable across a broad spectrum of industries, and this is especially true in the cannabis industry.” The bachelor’s degree will focus on various aspects of the legal cannabis industry, with courses in cannabis-specific retailing, marketing, product development, regulatory issues, and much more. The President of LIM College, Elizabeth Marcuse, referred to the explosive cannabis job market and said, “we find that employers are seeking skills and experience often possessed by fashion business professionals plus cannabis industry knowledge. LIM College is ready to graduate students with strength in both areas and we are excited to bring our successful track record of building industry connections and career readiness to the cannabis sector.” Leafly recently reported in their 6th Annual Jobs Report that the cannabis industry employed more than 428,000 people in the United States last year, with tremendous potential for more growth. Their program will be offered both on-campus and online, and applications are now being accepted for this fall. Comments are closed.
