A new certificate program in Cannabis Business Fundamentals is now open for enrollment at Scottsdale Community College.

The Cannabis Business Fundamentals certificate, which is open to Arizona residents, includes four classes:
– Introduction to Cannabis
– Social Equity and Current Events
– Supply Chain Management in the Marijuana Industry
– Legal and Regulatory Environment

The new certificate complements the non-credit cannabis class currently offered nationwide at SCC. Both programs offer eight-week, online options that allow students to work on their own time.

“Cannabis sales are expected to top $33 billion dollars in 2022. We are pleased to provide workforce training and education to those interested in this industry,” said Dr. Bobra Crockett, SCC’s Cannabis Program Lead.

The program will cover topics including industry history, social equity and trends, product descriptions, career opportunities, economics, marketing, supply chain management, dispensary business planning, funding resources, regulatory environments, and retailing.

Registration for the Fall 2022 semester is now open. For more information on both the non-credit and for-credit certificates, please send inquiries to 420business@scottsdalecc.edu.

Scottsdale Community College is one of the 10 colleges in the Maricopa County Community College District, one of the largest community college districts in the nation. SCC offers academic courses leading to associate degrees, university transfer, certificates and short-term job training.

Arizona legalized marijuana for recreational use in November 2020. The law allows adults aged 21+ to purchase, possess and use cannabis. State-licensed cannabis dispensaries began selling recreational marijuana in early 2021. There are over 150 dispensaries in Arizona — a majority of them are in populous areas such as Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff. Recreational cannabis delivery services began operating in 2024.
