Several of the top CS programs specifically do not teach details like configuring a load balancer as with a proper background in computer science it is assumed that you can figure out the latest programming languages and the install instructions for popular software packages. It would thus be a waste of a very expensive degree as you could learn about configuring LAMP and a load balancer at a trade school instead of a theoretical research university.

No one hires MIT grads because they graduate with more extensive load balancer knowledge.
