What once were just joke cryptocurrencies are now shaking up digital markets—and higher education is next.
In May, the school received a donation worth $5 million of Bitcoin, which was the largest cryptocurrency gift the university had ever received.
Wharton’s Aresty Institute of Executive Education on Thursday announced the launch of an online program: Economics of Blockchain and Digital Assets.
During the program, students will learn about the fundamental token valuation , which is the standard valuation methodology for digital currencies.
“From folks interested in learning how to assess and evaluate existing blockchain networks, applications, and digital assets to those looking to develop their own solutions utilizing the unique features of blockchain, this program focuses on the technology’s most overlooked principle: its economics,” Cathy Barrera, program director and a partner at Prysm Group, said in the announcement.
The program costs $3,800 and requires a commitment of about eight to 10 hours per week for six weeks.
