Overview

Why Study Cannabis Chemistry at Wilkes University?

Medicinal use of cannabis and legalization for recreational use in certain states creates a steep increase in the need for scientists who can research cannabis chemistry, extract and isolate compounds from the plant, understand laws and regulations, and assure purity and quality of products in the marketplace.

In the cannabis chemistry program at Wilkes, you’ll work alongside uniquely qualified faculty with expertise in chemistry, biology, pharmacology and neuroscience. They bring experience in analyzing cannabinoid compounds, the botany and physiology of medicinal plants, and growing plants in controlled environments.

This program meets requirements for American Chemical Society approval, so graduates qualify for ACS certification. That means you’re better prepared for technical careers in the cannabis industry and beyond.
