Back when I was seriously considering studying art (in the early 2000s) there were a lot of attempts to do just that. I haven't kept up, but at least a few are still around. I have no idea whether they've been successful, but it has at least been tried.I guess you could go back to the hyper selective academy system from 150 years ago or so, but a lot of talented people who would be overlooked in that system for actually being able to expand a medium.
Woman who I work with went here: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Academy_of_the_Fine_Arts From what she says it sounds like a traditional education in art with some modernity in there
