info-agnr@santarosa.eduProgram Description:
The Hemp Agriculture major provides a rigorous and comprehensive foundation for students seeking positions in the hemp industry that propagate, grow, and market a variety of products for consumers, commercial enterprises, or the wholesale market. The program delivers both lecture and hands-on laboratory experience in: Plant science, growth, and development; Soil and plant nutrition; Integrated pest management; Nursery and crop production; Irrigation methods, system design, and troubleshooting; and Principles of sustainable agriculture. While these topics apply to production of any crop, these courses will offer contextualized units, assignments, and/or lab activities that apply these topics to specific aspects of the hemp plant. Hemp represents a multi-billion dollar industry and is poised to grow exponentially following federal legalization in 2018. Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a genetically distinct biotype of cannabis sativa grown for fiber, seed or oil. In federal law, hemp by definition contains less than 0.3% THC, the compound in marijuana known for its psychoactive effects (the euphoric “high”). Hemp is used in the production of a wide range of products, including food and beverages, cosmetics and personal care products, nutritional supplements, fabrics and textiles, construction and insulation materials, and other manufactured goods. In addition, hemp is used to produce non-psychoactive cannabidiol (CBD), which has shown enormous promise for a variety of medical applications. While this major is focused on hemp agriculture students may apply the knowledge and skills attained to a variety of agricultural production careers. This program of study is also available as a certificate option.
Program Student Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate primary methods of plant propagation in the hemp industry.
- Identify and compare important developmental stages of the hemp plant.
- Design a hemp production plan and schedule from soil preparation through harvest.
- Identify and analyze sustainable agronomic hemp cultivation practices.

- Overall College GPA within the last 5 years prior to application to the ADN program
- English Composition GPA (English 1A or equivalent)
- Overall GPA in the following prerequisite sciences (anatomy, physiology, microbiology)
- Minus the number of repeats, withdraws, no credits, and incomplete grades in the core sciences (negative predictor of success).
Senate bill 1309 legislates that ADN programs are to implement assessment testing of students prior to the student being allowed to start ADN coursework. Beginning Spring 2008, all students who are accepted into the SRJC ADN program will be required to successfully pass an assessment test. Those students who pass the test may enroll in ADN coursework. Those students who do not pass are required to take remedial coursework and successfully complete assessment testing before being allowed to enter the ADN program.

CHEM 60 and BIO 10 are prerequisites to the Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology courses. Prerequisite science courses without an on campus laboratory component will not be accepted.
Because basic algebra is recommended for chemistry, students without basic algebra skills are advised to take Elementary Algebra. The department recommends that students meet the math competency requirement for the Associate Degree prior to entering the program.
Food & Nutrition and Psychology courses must be completed and verified on the student transcript prior to application for admission to the ADN program.
Beginning with the class of Fall 2009, only college transferable reading and composition courses (English 1A or equivalent) will be accepted to fulfill the English prerequisite requirement.
