Oaksterdam University is a dynamic, diverse, and responsive academic institute dedicated to educating the global cannabis community, industry, regulators, and government. Oaksterdam’s mission is to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the evolving cannabis industry. This is a one-of-a-kind, well-trusted institution. OU is special because of their years of experience, professionalism, transparency, accountability, and community involvement.
Given their contributions to cannabis education and activism, Oaksterdam University is receiving Cultural Landmark designation as part of the Oakland Cannabis Trail. Although their most recent physical university and museum space suffered severe fire damage in 2020, you can still stroll by the location to reflect on this important site in cannabis history.

After the federal raid on their original Broadway Ave location in 2012, Oaksterdam persevered and continued offering unified educational programs from that 1734 Telegraph Ave storefront. Due to their cultural significance, the wider district between downtown proper, the Lakeside, and the financial district is named after Oaksterdam.
