I guess it could be thought to people in the banking and finance field since it will be a big part of their customers assets in the future. But as a major, I'm not so sure.

The question is when, not if cryptocurrency will be commonly found as a subject in universities. This will of course happen when there has been a considerable saturation of use. Some have mentioned that it would remain in the realm of computer science or cryptography, not respecting the various aspects that the saturation of BTC in global markets would bring about. It would completely change economics as we know it, which last I remember was a very important subject offered in university. Hopefully by the time this has happened, the concept of unaffordable institutionalized higher education will have become obsolete as well.  Thank you BrewMaster for pointing out that courses have already become available in some locations.

Not specifically BTC but cryptocurrencies in general. You think it will become a course of study / college degree at some point?

At some point, I think universities will eventually embrace cryptocurrency and finally make something out of it through education and development. I'd like to see a future thriving with cryptocurrency masters and doctors. I can't wait to have grandchildren enjoy the fruits of cryptocurrency.

In my honest opinion, I don’t think it would be a major course in college. I don’t really think tou need a full course to know and educate yourself about bitcoin and other ceyptocurrencies. Although it is nice to include it in one of the subjects though for future references and usage too.

At some point cryptocurrencies has become a study course in some institutions. I don't remember clearly where but it is I am sure. So there is no other way to be modern but to study cryptocurrencies and any kind of digital money.

I do not think cryptocurrency will be used by most universities around the world, because there are so many special restrictions in every country, even cryptocurrency lately is not included in this type of economic financing but a digital asset. therefore every college would be better just to learn the basic calculations of mathematical formulas, because based on existing sources, the value of bitcoin is done by using a computer program that can solve the algorithm.

In my opinion, it is not impossible but it is somehow hard to achieve. It can be a college course but what job you will get right after?  I think you can learn by yourself to do job in crypto, no college degree needed so I think this will not be becoming a major in college. It can be part of the curriculum as a subject in a specified course but not a major subject so that this can help student to be able to have their own source of income even if the are just studying. I think before it is implemented, there will be several discussions about it and I think it will be debated whether cryptocurrency will be taught to college.

I have heard some Universities offer Blockchain courses but there are only some universities. But blockchain courses are not considered as an important subject or course which can be studied like any other subject or course ( including optional subjects and course) at any university. But seeing the popularity of cryptocurrency in recent dates and seeing the growth of the community maybe many more colleges will start adopting blockchain courses in their curriculum in coming days.

With a good literacy in something, we can achieve many things out of that thing. Btc course in college? Sounds like a great idea, but look at the things to be considered in order for you to start as a crypto major thing. Professors are needed in order to teach college students. Where can you find those. Well there were a lot of things.

I think courses already exist with cryptocurrency in a few modules. I know University of berckley do. Long term I can't see if having its own specific course but I can see it taking over large parts of financial/economics courses. Even law for that matter. I also assume if you study cryptography at university cryptocurrency will pop up.

Over the past few years, colleges and universities all over the world have been creating courses revolving around cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology so it probably wont be too long before it becomes a major in college with the growing demand.

A major, no. But a course in money and investment management majors it could be taught. It's one major investment now and a lot more people are getting into it so it's only fitting they be taught how to manage it.

Well not literally be the entire BTC be the major subject. But then, this should be included in some college curriculums in order for the students to understand its background and how is it going in our present market. It is very important indeed so that they get to understand what is going on in our market and for them to better understand.

It can be a major example on subject topic or related matters, or a major topic of research and issues for debate, but as a subject I guess it will go with a deep process to become a major subject.

No, it will not be a course or degree. It maybe part of the subject of the course but not as a major course. There are no valid reasons that bitcoin will be included as a major course because of the situations right now.

I see the point in introducing bitcoin and cryptocurrency in General to students of financial and economic orientation. We are all waiting for quality professionals, so that they may be educated to the fullest. And we will need these specialists.

I will really agree if college universities will place a major course and it is about cryptocurrency but it really takes time before it will happen since there are a lot of governments today who really hate the idea of using cryptocurrency in their country.

This is quite possible, since cryptocurrencies are constantly developing and are increasingly needed in the modern world. Accordingly, we will need specialists in this area.
