Anyway, I think it's quite exaggerated to say about having the first bitcoin course to be taught there. Maybe as a University, it does makes sense but there have been a lot of Bitcoin courses all over the web and done by the early adopters and people who contributed a lot of it.
Yes, that's how it is. The courses offered at universities are very different from what you usually see online. Having a structured curriculum and a qualified instructor provides a different kind of approach, especially for college students. That's unlike online courses, which are often aimed at people with only a basic understanding of Bitcoin. Either way, it' a good development that Bitcoin education is now being taught at the university level.
