This. I know a few people who have done this -- and have done something similar myself. Most colleges have an Art department that offers something like Graphic Design. I would personally suggest concentrating in something like Studio Art, rather than Graphic Design specifically. You'll still pick up the same tools, but it will come from a different angle. Also, Communications departments (and/or Journalism, specifically,) are very good at being up to date at technology; advertising relies on technology to work nowadays.
