College students in New York now have access to a higher education.

The State University of New York branch in upstate Morrisville plans to roll out a program next fall that will teach their students how to grow marijuana, according to WSYR-TV.

The anticipation of the Cannabis Industry Minor follows Governor Cuomo’s call to legalize the drug.

The public college, known for its agricultural programs, aims to take advantage of their existing horticultural expertise to train those who want to work in the marijuana industry.

“They want students who went for horticulture or similar environment majors because they understand plant growth,” Howard Rice, an associate at SUNY Morrisville, told the network.

“They’re not just hiring the guy who was growing in his basement for 10 years. They want the people who understand science behind it.”

Rather than growing actual marijuana plants, the school plans to use hemp plants for the program.

Hemp lacks the compounds present in marijuana that trigger psychoactive effects when consumed. But marijuana and hemp hail from the same plant family, Cannabis Sativa, making the cultivation process similar.
