This is the exact program I was looking for when I started out - over 8 years on, here it is.
When I first started looking into degree programs at Arizona State University, I considered entering the Fulton College of Engineering. After researching the program I felt that engineering was not the right path based mostly on the college's teaching philosophy and style. I always wanted to study graphic design, but figured math would give me the most profitable future. Then I chose art - and threw profitability out the window.
But at that time, graphic design in traditional sense was not being offered at ASU. Apparently they considered "design" to be technical and positioned it with engineering. Instead, I entered the Intermedia program which was a fusion of all types of fine art/design and rooted in art history. It was an open-ended option that allowed creativity to shape your education direction.
In the end, I graduated with an emphasis on photography, but am happy that I went the art route. I think the education I received allowed me to be well-rounded. But good to know that the opportunity exists for the new crop of geeky techie-artists like me out there. Plus brings $$ into the art department (even if filtered through the beloved engineering school) and that's a bonus they need.
