...usually have offered anything that even purports to be a "software development" curriculum.

They usually have a "computer science" curriculum.

Well, yes... but I don't see how that changes or even addresses my point at all.

  • I think it explains the reason for your point: that people aren't being prepared for a career in software development (and particularly user interface design) by a curriculum that is overtly not focused on software development, and particularly overtly not focused on human/software interaction, is unsurprising, and not a problem of curriculum being poorly designed for its overt purpose.
