<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I was just curious if I have my BA in CIS would I be able to pursue a Master's in Computer Science?</p>
<p>What courses are you taking as part of your BA in CIS? If you list your in-major and other technical course requirements, we will be much better-equipped to comment on areas you might need to address.</p>
<p>In general, the best preparation for graduate study in X is undergraduate study in X. Different institutions vary in what X means, though.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, you really need 4 core CS courses to get into most CS graduate programs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Algorithms</li>
<li>Data Structures</li>
<li>Organization of Programming Languages</li>
<li>Operating Systems</li>
</ul>
<p>About a handful of schools may also ask for a computer architecture course but usually the above 4 is all you need (and of course the prereqs).</p>
<p>It does NOT matter if the CS degree is B.S. or B.A.</p>
<p>It is possible. Our Masters program in CS at IIT will take students who don’t have a B.S. in CS but they have them take an intensive CS “boot camp” sequence before getting into the graduate CS courses.</p>
