Take a close look at 

Anderson and Burton, "Computer Graphics Curricula:A Survey of PhD
Granting Departments", Computer Graphics, V22,#2, Apr 88, pp94
for a discussion of courses and textbooks used.

We use Berger for our Intro course and Rogers for our 2nd course;
our Upper level courses use the IEEE Tutorial on Image Synthesis
and Geometric Modeling by Mortenson.
