My undergrad networks course discussed a little BGP stuff but only on the blackboard.

To experiment with BGP you could use a network simulator like what the author of this blog did. In my class we used something called gini[1] which I think my profs grad student wrote but the author apparently used gns3 which seems to be a cisco specific ns3 version. I used ns3 once and found it had a steep learning curve. The gini simulator has a more basic user interface but is probably less powerful.
