The university I attend actually takes this exact approach. Our CSE department offers three B.S. programs: Computer Science, Information Technology, and Software Engineering, each with different subdomains of study. I know that GA Tech utilizes a similar (albeit much more sophisticated) strategy with their Threads program. I think that what will eventually happen, simply out of necessity, is the introduction of general computing concepts and programming into other majors. For example, my sister is a microbiology major and I've taken it upon myself to make sure that she gets at least somewhat familiar with Perl / Python and LaTeX. It's absolutely ridiculous that at many universities, the "Intro to Computing" class for non-majors is still about how to use Office and browse the Net.
