CS168 is UC Berkeley's undergraduate course on the architecture of the Internet, covering how networks are designed, how protocols and routing work, and how the system scales. It is taught in the Berkeley CS curriculum with Scott Shenker named as a preferred instructor.

One commenter highly recommends it, calling it among the three courses most influential on their undergraduate experience, and specifically suggests taking it with Scott Shenker.

   That is a great list to have so far! On top of that, I have to highly recommend CS168: Internet Architecture (preferably with Scott Shenker), CS 161: Computer Security (with either Wagner, or Weaver), and CS169: Software Engineering (with Armando Fox, also available on EdX). These are the 3 courses that were most influential on my Undergrad experience (on top of the 61 series and 162)
