There is growing interest in teaching Pd as a programming platform in University-level courses.  

The first course of record is taught by Koray Tahiroglu at    the "Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki":http://www.kuva.fi/ .  It is a follow up course to an introductory workshop, covering a wide range of topics in Pd.

Hans-Christoph Steiner is currently developing an undergrad class at "Polytechnic University":http://poly.edu with the aim of teaching Digital Media students advanced methods of interfacing with humans using Pd.

"PedroLopes":/Members/PedroLopes/home is currently at "Hasso Plattner Institut":http://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/willkommen.html?L=1 and teaches a class on Dataflow Programming and Signal Processing with Pure Data, on "Prof. Patrick Baudisch's":http://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/personen/professoren/patrickbaudisch.html?L=1 Human Computer Interaction class #2. 

This is the first sketch for a Pd-specific programming class

Other Dataflow Languages

 It might be useful to touch on other dataflow languages in order to compare the structures and how each one is organized.  Here is a list of relevant dataflow languages,  many of which are limited in terms of languages.

"Labview":http://www.ni.com/labview -- Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench

"Max/MSP":http://cycling74.com/products/maxmsp -- Pd's sister language
