Welcome to NMU's Online CO PBW Program!
Program Description
Ready to focus on your education? Explore our flexible, completely online and asynchronous certificates and degree pathways below.
Our programs are designed as a credential ladder, offering you the choice to start exactly where you need to:
Direct Entry: You can enroll directly in a Bachelor’s degree program from day one for a comprehensive, leadership-focused education.
Targeted Specialization or Step-Wise Progression: You may choose to start with a Certificate or Associate degree to gain immediate, obtainable credentials. This is ideal if you want to intentionally target a specific sector, such as cannabis retail, cultivation, or plant-based wellness, with a standalone certificate. Because our curriculum is integrated, these certificates ladder directly into the AAS or BAS degrees, allowing you to apply your earned credits toward a higher degree whenever you’re ready.
Whether you want to "start big" or build your foundation one step at a time, our online and asynchronous format ensures your education fits your schedule.
