<p>Hello everyone, I was hoping somebody can help me out. I'm going to be graduating in fall 2013 from San Jose State with a B.A in Social Science / Emphasis in Single Subject teaching. I have realized that teaching is not something I would like to get into. Therefore, I was considering on going back to school for a BS in Computer Science. Unfortunately for me, the CSU system does not admit 2nd bacc students. Although, the CSU San Bernardino website indicate it does admit 2nd bacc students. As for UC, Davis does admit 2nd bacc students into their engineering department only. Does anyone know if any CSU schools allow post bacc students for sure ? Also, does anyone have any advice for me ? I really do NOT want to get in education and realize that Computer Science is a much better fit for me. Thanks :) ..........also, I do have experience programming in JAVA and Python, so I know I will enjoy this as a career......Thanks again :)</p>
<p>UC Davis does have a computer science and engineering major under engineering.</p>
<p>You may have to look around all of the various campuses to find out if they admit second bachelor’s degree students.</p>
<p>There are alternatives like the [Coding</a> Boot Camps Promise To Launch Tech Careers](<a href=“http://www.manufacturing.net/news/2013/04/coding-boot-camps-promise-to-launch-tech-careers]Coding”>http://www.manufacturing.net/news/2013/04/coding-boot-camps-promise-to-launch-tech-careers) . Note that these are highly selective admission, and extremely intense, as in 80 to 100 hours per week for a time period equivalent to about a college semester. They likely cover about half or so of the CS material in a traditional CS bachelor’s degree program. That may be enough to get into the industry during a good job market, and be a decent base for future self-education. However, some employers may give the boot camps less credential credibility than a bachelor’s degree in CS. This also gets in the way of those who learn CS by self-education, although some people write or contribute to open source software as an alternative type of credential.</p>
<p>THANKS !!! Just read it. Sounds very interesting. I just hope that it is not like a Heald College or Phoenix University…sounds reputable though. I will definitely look into it.</p>
<p>Yes, look into it, but be very careful, since that particular market could attract low quality entrants, just as the article says.</p>
