this university and you can pay for your tuition in Bitcoin
If you love Bitcoin and want to be in the middle
of all that is digital currency, you may want to
pack up and move to Cyprus.
The University of Nicosia there announced today
that it will officially allow you to pay for your
college tuition in Bitcoin. On top of that, it will
also offer a master’s degree in digital currency.
How’s that for taking this new-fangled money
seriously?
The master’s will be available in Spring 2014 in
both an on-campus and online version. If you’re
just interested in learning about digital
currencies and aren’t quite sure if you’re ready
to commit to a master’s degree — or a move to
Cyprus — the university is offering the first
prerequisite course, entitled “Introduction to
Digital Currency,” for free. It’ll take the form of a
MOOC, or a massive open online course, which
the school says will help “anyone interested in
learning more about the fundamental principles
of digital currency.”
“While digital currency is a relatively new
concept, currency is one of the oldest human
inventions,” said Dr. Andreas Polemitis, senior
vice rector at the University of Nicosia, in a
statement. “What we aim to explore in this
program is the likely development pathway of
digital currency and give our students insights
that they can bring to bear in their professional
careers.”
