Georgia Tech is bound by the Georgia Board of Regent's "Liberal Arts" clause, meaning that even the most technical of colleges in GA must conform to the set curricula of the State. The tradeoff is that for Georgia residents with a B or better GPA, tuition is free. Those classes only applied to the first 2 years anyways; the latter half of college was at least an order of magnitude more interesting (and difficult).
