I'm tempted to say this is more a liberal arts issue than anything else, because I remember being frustrated by that exact issue in a lot of my other non-CS classes as well: heavy focus on general abstract stuff, and little in the way of solid skills. I wanted to learn how to actually *make* things—graphic design, interactive programming—and the message was (sometimes verbatim): "we don't do that here, you'd have to go to art/tech/grad school for that."
