A major US university has started educating students about Bitcoin

With Texas A&M now being the newest United State College to offer a Bitcoin course to some of its 74,000+ students, the use of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in the classroom is continuing to soar.

Associate Professor Korok Ray of Texas A&M's Mays Business School, who will be instructing the "Bitcoin Protocol" course to students in the College of Engineering and Mays Business School when the Spring Semester begins on January 17, made the announcement on January 13.

In the four-part Twitter discussion, Ray said that "Programming Bitcoin" would adhere to the Bitcoin Protocol and teach students how to "create a Bitcoin library from scratch."

The lecturer went on to say that it took "months" of arduous labor to finally win approval from the school's relevant curriculum committee body.

According to crypto researcher Josh Cowell, who asserted that it can enhance one's financial literacy if done properly, a dearth of high-quality crypto education has been cited as a major barrier to advancing acceptance.

When Cointelegraph contacted Ray to inquire about enrollment numbers, he did not respond right away.

Currently, American institutions are also teaching about the legal and regulatory ramifications of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.

Adjunct Professor Thomas Hook of Boston University Law School recently informed Cointelegraph that the law school now provides a "Crypto Regulation" course for students interested in finding out how lawyers knowledgeable about cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency businesses can best navigate regulatory uncertainties as they seek to market their goods and services:

"It's aimed to introduce future lawyers to the various challenges they may see and the variety of approaches and rules that exist as it pertains to cryptocurrency, as well as the different issues that crypto enterprises may face across the globe," the author writes.

Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Oxford University, National University of Singapore, Cornell University, and the University of California, Berkeley are among the other colleges that now offer courses on cryptocurrencies.
