If I'm not mistaken, in the US there are some courses that are offered which give some intro into cryptocurrencies; but it doesn't really make sense to me why you would want to pay big money to some college to teach you the basics of Bitcoin. Everything about Bitcoin is "google-able" and you will probably find out a whole lot more by asking questions to people on forums like these or Bitcoin's stack exchange forum.

It just seems dumb to "make a job" out of this. To me this is/should be more of a hobby type of thing.

But a college won't be just introducing Bitcoin as a subject just to inform the students about the basics of bitcoin. If it is introduced in educational institutions, they will try to make it a comprehensive subject covering almost all the aspects relating to bitcoin. This according to me would make it a systematic course and students will be able to reap the advantages out of it. Everything is Google- able, as you said, but a systematic course would make the learning an interactive process and students will be able to explore more by that...that's what I feel!
