Oaksterdam University was the first place in the world where students could get hands-on experience learning to cultivate cannabis for commercial sale or personal use. Our curricula have been designed and delivered by the most recognized names in cannabis cultivation, such as Oaksterdam’s Horticulture Department Chair Joey Ereñeta, Jeff Jones, Kyle Kushman, and Ed Rosenthal. We continually update our horticulture courses to reflect changes in the industry and cover a wide range of growing methods with a focus on safety and compliance.
