Yup second this. RISD ID graduates tend to end up in Interface Design just as much (if not more than) Graphic Design majors. The ID curriculum actually does a much better job at introducing the students to a lot of the concepts that UX Designers champion. Industrial Design tends to be much more research driven, so it translates well.
Graphic Design tends to be much more about story-telling, metaphor, visual qualities, etc. — which are all important in Interface Design as well, just different. Joe Gebbia's double-major in ID and GD makes a lot of sense for a startup designer.
