I think it can not be a university because btc is a digital currency, it's just an electronic currency online.

I reckon once Bitcoin goes mainstream and when it gets accepted as a currency, a lot more serious attention will be given to it. I personally think
Crypto currences should be included in the children's education from a early age. Not just Crypto currencies, but a whole section on innovation
and entrepreneurship as part of their financial education.

It is actually! It all started with just one guy. He was buying all such things which probably our parents won't allow us to . So I just asked him how he manages to do so. This he told me about Bitcoin and this forum. Since that day me and my friends all use this forum to make some money as well as help few people out with their problems. Infact first it was all about the money but later when I actually started reading few posts and topics I found it very interesting and lately began contributing alot to this forum.
Not specifically BTC but cryptocurrencies in general. You think it will become a course of study / college degree at some point?
It possible because other campany use bitcoin in entrpreneurship and to innovate their products

I doubt colleges will create a special course of study for crypto currencies. But I am sure that crypto should be joined to a course of economic theory of every place where it studied. People need to know about crypto currencies, even if some politics and economists do not admit it as money or have generally "fraud" opinion about it. 
as others mentioned there are online courses, in fact there are lots of them around that you can visit.
but also there are actual universities around the world that have actual courses on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. most of them in US but there are some in other countries too.
New York University (NYU) – USA
Duke University – USA
Princeton University – USA
Stanford University – USA
University of California-Berkeley – USA
Cyprus’ University of Nicosia – Cyprus
University of Cumbria – UK
IT University of Copenhagen – Denmark
Blockchain University – USA
B9 Lab Academy – UK

One user has given good explanation regarding the courses available related to digital currencies online. Maybe in future we can find lot of courses relating to blockchain technology, because everything is functional based on the particular technology and has got importance over each and every sector.
Bitcoin might be a subject in college but being a major in college is a little bit out of hand. I cannot see someone majoring in bitcoin unless they are really decided to work for it full time like others that are already earning well in the cryptocurrency world. It must be first legalized and then educate others on how to use bitcoin. They must also teach the advantages and disadvantages in bitcoin and let their laboratories be hands on in handling bitcoin.
You can already get your Masters degree in Digital Currencies - even from the comfort of your own home (online courses)!
The degree is offered by the University of Nicosia:

If you are still not sold on the degree, look at some of the people, who are involved as teachers:

It is taught by renowned Bitcoin experts Andreas Antonopoulos and Antonis Polemitis and includes 12 live online sessions.
I'm about to finish a semi-casual article on this question (or related to it, anyway). Bitcoin will likely never be a major - just as US dollar isn't a major of any degree I know of! But certainly, blockchain is already offered in some way in some higher-learning institutions, perhaps not "internationally recognised" as yet, and cryptocurrency is also very much on the horizon.
I'll give an example here: University of Nicosia already has an Msc in Digital Currency (Bitcoin and blockchain are a major part of the syllabus) and a MSc in Computer Science (majoring in blockchain). Not exactly a top 200 global university, but you could do a lot worse...

I think temporary bitcoin will not appear in College courses. Unless it has affected most people's lives. Now the government is more exclusive than bitcoin, and the banking industry is more like bitcoin. Maybe a few years later, in the university computer counseling course, there will be some encrypted currency related introduction
Not specifically BTC but cryptocurrencies in general. You think it will become a course of study / college degree at some point?
No. It still lies within the field of Computer Science. You may probably major in it, but you will need programming know-how to study it in-depth.
It may definitely become a course in the near future, but I'm not sure if you could make a major out of it. And I'm speaking not about bitcoin here, also not about cryptocurrencies actually, but about the blockchain. A lot of institutions are trying to adapt the blockchain mentality, so maybe blockchains can become a major in the future.
im thinking along the same lines; if anything, blockchain technology could be developed into a major, but i think it's way too niche of a subject to be developed into an entire field of study. i could definitely see courses in blockchain technology being integrated into other majors, such as software engineering, but you cant build a field of study on the blockchain alone. could be a pretty good topic for a thesis though.

I don't think crypto currency will ever be a major in colleges, all of the informations about it is accessible online so you don't need a teacher to teach it. Rather the crypto currency, why not the blockchain. It has a lot of ways to be developed and be used in a lot of other things that will be very useful in the near future.

I dont think this will be possible. Cryptocurrencies are digital currencies, and so they just currencies like our fiat money right now. If we didnt even have courses and explicit studies for the currencies in the world, I dont think thered be any for cryptocurrencies as well.
I think bitcoin will be categorized as a topic for a main subject of blockchain if it is taught in college. If bitcoin is taught in financial course it may become major subject and with other alternative coin with different objectives.
Programming, blockchain, etc. yes. I think it's more on people to choose to write their thesis on it rather than it being a standalone major.
I dont think so cryptocurrency I think is under programming course maybe it will put under a subject from cryptography but not in one of the major subject like lets bitcoin 101?
Yes I think in the future it will become a major in college because as you can see it is getting more and more popular.
I think it will someday in the future be presented in schools. Because this is not something little it is the future and a lot of people are already using it.
We need to teach them so our new generation can have more information about this subject.
