A review also found that cryptocurrency and blockchain courses are finding a place among world’s top 50 universities. Among the top 50 U.S. universities, as ranked by U.S. News and World Report, 42 percent offer at least one course on blockchain and crypto-related studies, while 22 percent provide more than one class.
The survey has found increasing interest for such courses among a wide range of students. 47 percent of social science major students said they were interested in learning about crypto, as did more than 34 percent of students from computer science and engineering majors .
