LAS VEGAS, N.M. (AP) — Regents at New Mexico Highlands University have approved a new program that will offer students a certificate in industrial hemp entrepreneurship. Approval came earlier this month, but school officials say the program must still go through any required state and accreditor reviews. The Higher Learning Commission must also sign off. Industrial hemp production was legalized in New Mexico in 2019. The university's program will have two tracks — one for students focused on the business of industrial hemp and another for students interested in the science of plant production. The certificate curriculum will include six courses for 18 credits.
