Meta-answer:  Avi Rubin has a web page that points to a large number of
security and cryptography courses around the country.  It seems to be
down at the moment, but normally it is here:
http://www.cs.nyu.edu/~rubin/courses.html

Another meta-page is Heather Hinton's index of security courses and
degrees, both graduate and undergraduate:
http://www.ee.ryerson.ca:8080/~hhinton/compsec/security.html

While I'm here, I'll modestly :-) plug my own security graduate
course:  CSE 527: Principles and Practices of System Security.  It
introduces you to security theory, and then contrasts that with the
actual practices in the trenches, helping students to identify bogosity
in both theory and practice.
