It would be great if you introduced courses on Bitcoin and blockchain technology from colleges and universities. Because there are many of us who want to work in crypto If we learn to work and watch videos after reading various books we can learn much easier if college and university are taught courses on bitcoin and blockchain technology. Every college and university needs to keep this course.

The government should focus on the teaching about financial literacy specially in high school and college. They should also offer courses about blockchain technology and cryptocurrency because it is our future mode of payment. Students should now be aware to what it is and its function for them to easily adapt it.

A) Traditional Courses.


Im suprised none of this courses mentioned Bitcoin in their name.
Its like Blockchain is a thing, which is not. Without Bitcoin there is no practical use of blockchain yet, only Bitcoin is because its hard to find reason to secure it with hundreds on millions of $ computing power, while project itself like Bitcoin won't give returns for it.
Bitcoin is only use of blockchain and will be for long. Only other purpose is goverment election = transparent.

tranthidung I saw you don't have the university of Nicosia listed here, I found about it in this link.
I knew about that, but if people have demands and interests, they will dig deeply to find out more details. If they don't have interests, they don't spend a second to read.
Anyway, I am thankful for what you pointed out above.

Also, Nicosia has a free MOOC, it's not related directly with blockchain, but it touches some topics related to blockchain like:

The Byzantine Generals’ problem
Bitcoin in practice
Digital currency basics
Alternative uses of the blockchain

Nicosia, Master’s in Digital Currency
The Master Degree includes the free MOOC

Are college students actually taking any of these courses? Considering that it's not a prerequisite to their degrees and also they are adding much more cost to their tuition fees by just adding another optional subject to their expenses. If they do want to promote a blockchain related program in their college I think the option of offering a full course for free is a great option for them and the students especially if that course would only cover a small subject I don't think it would be the university's loss by giving it away for free. But that's just wishful thinking and I know universities like what's mentioned in the OP are strict on matters like this and they are just offering these courses just to say they are "involved" in cryptocurrencies.
I categorize those courses listed here into two categories:
Traditional and online courses.
I am not sure, but students might take those traditional courses mandatorily or optional.
In contrast, I highly believe that students can take online courses for free or with fees but those online courses are optional, not mandatory. They are not prerequisite courses.
Online courses can be found on some platforms: Coursera.org; Udemy.com. Maybe there are more online courses than what I listed in OP (I did not check new courses on those platforms recent months).
