I've never seen a school that teaches generalizing skills. To find one, that's a mystery.

  College ?

  It's limited to the general concept of the computer industry, but I did a degree in IT and several professors saw the focus as being "integration". You basically did a CS minor, plus classes in electronics, signals, web dev, databases, operating systems, etc. Projects have a heavy emphasis on communication, project management, etc. My peers ended up very quickly becoming programmers along-side CS grads, managers of various kinds, founders, IT personnel, tech support, hardware designers, etc.

    in my university, we were allowed to pick any minor with a computer science major because they believed that computer science can be applied to everywhere. this was in the 90s when many universities required.that compter science be paired with math or a few other selected fields. turning that into a CS minor with the same sentiment would be an evolution of that approach. greetings, eMBee.

      A lot of the data science community was pushing statistics minors with some other major (or vice versa) for a while. I know that field is generally a bit over-hyped from an employment perspective to begin with, but I think that makes a lot of sense.

  Try Scotland. It used to be a thing there.
