Computer Science professor Dan Boneh, an expert in applied cryptography, will lead the course – which tackles security across the entire bitcoin ecosystem. In a release he said:
"The technology behind bitcoin and other crypto currencies can be an indispensable tool for protecting information."
While the introductory webinar is free, tuition for the remainder of the sessions clocks in at $3,960 (a $600 discount for attendees from one of Stanford's member organisations). To complete the certificate, which requires four modules in total, will cost between $13,440 and $18,480.
Founded in 1885, Stanford frequently ranks in the top five universities in the US, only 5.7% applicants who apply are accepted. While not the first, it is the most prestigious school to offer bitcoin tuition.
