I believe what you're referring to then is the need for an increase in informatics programs (like at my school www.informatics.indiana.edu). However, I should stipulate that this is use of a computer to do tasks related to information, not computer science per se.

You don't need to call it computer science. However, as far as I know, such undergraduate degrees don't exist.

You didn't look at Indiana. http://www.informatics.indiana.edu/academics/sample_curricul...

This is the undergraduate informatics curriculum which, as you'll notice, strictly includes social science courses throughout the first two years.
