As Wayne suggested, Mac OSX, being Unix based comes with development tools. You may find they are on a separate CD with your system, or you can download them from Apple.
The Apple development environment X-Code is geared toward Objective-C (the preferred application programming language for OSX), but can be used for C/C++ code development: http://developer.apple.com/technology/xcode.html
If you really need to run Dev-C++ you will need to dual boot your Mac with Windows (you'll need a Windows license), or use a Virtual Machine with Windows installed (you'll still need a Windows license, plus the VM software). For the price of a Windows license you could probably get a old Windows PC that will run probably Dev-C++adequtely.
Since your course shoild be about C programming and not about teh IDE, you should be file with the available Mac tools. They use the OSX version of GCC, whereas Dev-C++ uses the Windows version of the same. I am guessing that you are not going to need Windows specific development, if so then Dev-C++ is not a good choice in any case.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have a Intro C++ class, and I need a compiler. The teacher told us to download bloodshed, but I cant find a download for Mac.
There is no version for a Mac.
My understanding was that newer Macs already come with GCC, so you may already have a compiler, so your question may be what IDE to use with that.

Ibeleive there is a verions of Code::Blocks that works on Mac OS.

You can also use Eclipse of course. Consider EasyEclipse for C/C++: http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/distributions/cplusplus.html
