Don't know about other Universities but Berkeley has always had a
strong EECS department.  While this is great for those primarily
interested in hardware (EE) or data structures and algorithms
(math/stats/crypto/CS) UC has traditionally offered few of the
interdisciplinary courses required for a computer/information
security specialization.

For example CS was soliciting industry feedback for their degree
program some years ago.  I attended one of their meetings, defining
degree requirements, for PG&E R&D but was surprised to learn they
still discouraged Unix classes and anything related to systems
administration.

I wouldn't expect this to change as long as CS is defined as a
subdiscipline of (the department of) mathematics.
