Computer Science Masters programs for non-Computer Science majors?

[ncwcc1]

<p>

Look into IT programs. Many of them are basically undergraduate computer science majors in a Master’s degree format, structured so that they can be completed in <2 years of full-time study. Here’s one such program: [Computer</a> & Information Science - Master’s of Computer and Information Technology (MCIT)](<a href=“Master of Computer and Information Technology”>Master of Computer and Information Technology)

<p>NOT TRUE!</p>

<p>One must be extremely cautious about “IT” degrees. The one you link to is rare in that it is fairly close to some of the courses one takes for an undergrad CS degree. Most IT degrees are about technology and business, not computer science; they’ll will get one nowhere in applying for an MS in CS, let alone a serious software engineering type of job.</p>

<p>For the OP, you might be able to get into a MS in CS without a CS undergrad degree, but you would have to have taken around 6-8 core CS courses already. If you’ve not taken a single course, you might as well do a second degree (BS), which would take 2 years.</p>
