I would like to see the Design Theory include an exposure to ethnographic research, 1:1 usability evaluations and how people use screen readers. I see it as something like a hands-on lab for a science course and a way to help students find their passion.
Also I feel the writing course should be focused on technical and business writing. Electives could include statistics and analytics. Thanks Chauncey for mentioning Albers and color theory. I was also taught by one of Albers students and have visited his collection at the Yale Museum of Art. I feel my charts, graphs, site flows and influence on visual design are much stronger from being taught Albers' theories. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
