The online course starts this fall and is divided into two parts, one called Plant Production and Facility Management, and the other Marketing, Sales and Drug Development, according to the university website.

“Medical marijuana is in the news every day, and it’s an industry that is just starting to grow, and is growing very rapidly,” said Jim Pelton, executive director of continuing and professional studies at Kwantlen.

The course is not cheap — $1,249 for each part — but the university already has a few dozen takers, including international applicants.

The classes may not be for everyone. They are built around Canada’s new regulatory scheme for medical marijuana and a good deal of the coursework deals with understanding municipal bylaws and the country’s legal parameters.
