I mean, there are colleges that cater specifically to industry. Digipen is a good example of this: they have very close relationships with game studios and shoehorn their curriculum into the requirements the state imposes on colleges.

These sorts of colleges are not particularly popular, however, so I think most prospective students understand the value of a more broad and timeless approach to software education.
