The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) held the first certified course on blockchain anddistributed ledger technology (DLT).

This course was held for students of the faculty.computing sciences, and was organized at the request of the non-profit organization Blockchain Acceleration Foundation (BAF), which promotes the accelerated implementation of blockchain in various fields. BAF includes students, professors, crypto enthusiasts, and anyone interested in mass promotion of DLT.

UCSB Co-Founder and BAF President Cameron Dennis(Cameron Dennis) believes that despite the growing popularity of blockchain, earlier UCSB students did not have the opportunity to learn more about the latest technologies until seminars were organized at the university. After lengthy negotiations, Dennis convinced the UCSB administration to organize a special course in computer science with a focus on blockchain.

"This course was aimed at enabling curious computer science students to learn the fundamentals of blockchain and be able to create a better future by disrupting entrenched business practices and creating new standards in corporate governance," commented Cameron Dennis.

In September, New York University also begantraining in a cryptocurrency specialty to prepare students for the realities of the new market. The universities of Ireland and Malta did not stand aside, which this year launched a master’s program in blockchain education.
