Our own university, Washington State University, does offer a security course, but it does NOT cover security from a software engineering perspective. I decided to check several more catalogs including computer science departments at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the California Institute of Technology, and University of Wisconsin Madison. Each of these top tier universities offered courses in security that focused on cryptography.The history of computer security shows that it is neither trivial nor something that one can effectively add on as an after-market upgrade (ask the folks at Microsoft!). Most security breaches are not due to cracking encryptions, but to
