Should more colleges offer CFA exam prep courses?

I found out that the University of Toronto offers CFA prep courses for all three levels of the exam.

Their passing rates are very good (81% for level 1, 82% for level 2, no data for level 3).

Why don't more colleges offer these types of courses? If schools in the US created CFA courses and allowed them to be taken for business elective credit towards students' degrees, it seems like it would be an incredible opportunity.

I realize that you can self-study and pass the course on your own, but why not work it in with degree completion for those interested?
