A joint research investigation by Coinbase and Qriously has revealed that over 42 percent of the world\u2019s leading top 50 universities currently provide Blockchain related or cryptocurrency classes. A wide range of disciplines and specializations have emerged in order to prepare the generation of the future.<\/span> The research effort involved comprehensive course reviews at 50 renowned international universities in conjunction with a survey which interviewed a sample of 675 US-based students. The data collection effort managed to review a total of 172 Blockchain related courses<\/a><\/strong> which led to the realization that 15 percent of the courses are conducted by departments relating to Finance<\/strong>, Law<\/strong> and Business<\/strong> whereas Social Science <\/strong>based departments constitute about 4 percent.<\/p>\n The study further established that the US edges other countries in terms of Blockchain popularity in its education sector as only 5 of the 18 participating universities based outside the US have incorporated Blockchain courses in their structure. When the comparison was narrowed down to look at how the different universities compete, Stanford University came out the most comprehensive with the total number of courses offered amounting to 10.<\/p>\n
