While cannabis is not federally legalized, Texas offers several hemp-focused programs, giving residents the opportunity to explore this growing industry. Texas may not have the extensive cannabis education offerings seen in other states, but there are still various cannabis education programs available. These include degree opportunities at the Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD levels, covering topics such as hemp cultivation, research, and business.
