This course is brought to you by New Jersey-based Princeton University via Coursera. It is a free course comprising of 11 weeks of online material, but it has no certification awarded at the end.
The course covers things like: How does Bitcoin work? What makes Bitcoin different? How secure are your bitcoins? How anonymous are Bitcoin users? What determines the price of Bitcoin? Can cryptocurrencies be regulated? What might the future hold?
It has 12 lecture videos and 11 lecture slides that are also free. While this course was meant for Princeton students during the Spring 2015 semester, its information is still very much valid for today’s blockchain/crypto world.
This course requires no prior knowledge of Bitcoin, but does recommend a basic knowledge of Python and Unix languages.
The course covers aspects of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, smart contracts, distributed ledger technologies, and consensus systems.
To narrow down the vast subject of cryptos, they have only taken the case studies of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Duke University offers a course called “Blockchain and Innovation” for its undergraduate students, which is free of cost. It is run by a select group of students, professionals, and professors by a Duke Blockchain Lab pioneered by Duke University.

UC-Berkeley runs a unit called Blockchain At Berkeley which is a student-run organization to bridge the gap between blockchain/cryptocurrencies and the general masses.
It is not a certification or a degree course, but it’s an all-out endeavor to make the steep learning curve of this new tech a lot easier to bear. They organize workshops, seminars, screencasts, and events, and every Sunday there are meetups to discuss some of the cutting-edge whitepapers of the blockchain industry.
They also have a stringent attendance policy, and they drop students who are not regular in their attendance.
