Universities with courses on Blockchain Technology & Cryptocurrencies: Carnegie Mellon!

Hello dear blog readers and members of Nexus Global,

in this article, we would like to introduce you to the next university which is offering blockchain technology and cryptocurrency courses. Today we want to give you more information about the course offers of the Carnegie Mellon. These are courses within a regular study program and not a special degree course, with a state-recognized degree, such as at the University of Nicosia in Cyprus.

Carnegie Mellon

Picture Source

The US University of Carnegie Mellon also offers a course within a regular program focusing on cryptocurrencies and blockchains. The course is an introduction to cryptography. Studying at Canegie Mellon University costs up to $ 70,579, according to: https://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg03_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=204

Topics of the course:

Course Focus: Blockchains and Cryptocurrencies. We will discuss the current state of art and future challenges.

This is a seminar course on Cryptography. No prior background in cryptography is assumed. However, students should have mathematical maturity and be comfortable working with definitions and proofs.

The course will primarily consist of discussing a set of research papers published in Cryptography conferences over the last few years. Focus will be on understanding the key ideas and identifying cool new directions or problems for future. The students will be required to read up a paper and give a presentation in the class. The papers will be selected so as to minimize the required background. If you are not a Ph.D. student and still would like to take the course (because e.g. you have special interest in cryptography or cybersecurity), please email the instructor with as much detail about your background and interests as possible.

Grading

There will be no final exam. The grade will depend on: 1) the quality of presentation you give in the class (and how well you understand the paper), and, 2) participation in the other presentations in class. Extra points for coming up with any interesting original comment / observation on any of the papers.
