Horticulture

Students will learn about the processes involved for the extraction of cannabis oil and the process required to produce different qualities of refined and purified oil from cannabis and industrial hemp.

This program prepares graduates for employment in the growing cannabis production industry, or to support those already in the workplace. 

These microcredentials will lay the foundations of cannabis knowledge through a research-based approach, ideal for retailers, educators, and others to enhance their theoretical and practical skills in this burgeoning industry.

The Prairie Horticulture Certificate program is the online program in horticulture designed specifically for the prairie provinces and is offered through the Continuing Education department.

This certificate addresses general and specialized aspects of the science, current cultural systems and construction practices for the turf industry.
