Subject: [WebAIM] College courses in accessibility?

I am starting to compile a list of college-level courses that focus on web accessibility, which is turning out to be a rather difficult task, either because there are so few or because they are well hidden. I realize there are a lot of courses about web design which touch on the topic briefly. What I'm interested in, though, is courses in which accessibility is one of the main topics, and in which students are expected to reach some level of mastery of accessibility topics and techniques.

Do you know of any courses that focus on accessibility? Please let me add to my list below!

*University: *George Mason University
