0The Cannabis Studies Program brings together a multidisciplinary community of faculty and students who integrate academic inquiry with social activism in courses, co-curricular events, research, and community engagement. In this emerging field of study, DePaul is committed to joining efforts to realize equity and justice in communities that have historically been disproportionately harmed by the effects of the federal criminalization of cannabis. DePaul also recognizes the high value of cannabis studies for preparing students to be successful in a range of fields where specialized knowledge of this subject is critical, including (but not limited to) business, criminology, social work, health science, public affairs, communication, and law.
