Northern Minnesota community college offers cannabis classes
Minnesota State Community and Technical College is offering the first cannabis industry classes in northern Minnesota.
M State has campuses in Detroit Lakes, Fergus Falls, Moorhead and Wadena. The cannabis certificates will all be nine-week classes offered online.
Cannabis training company Green Flower will provide the content for the certificate classes.
“This was a fairly low risk for us,” said Craig Beytien, M State Vice President of Strategic Engagement. “There wasn’t a lot of upfront cost to bringing these programs to Minnesota State. It’s an evolving market. But we just judged that this seemed like a prudent path to go down and we’ll see how that plays out.”
