You mention you're self taught -- do you have an undergraduate degree?
The OMSCS FAQ[1] is vague about whether such a degree is required:
> "significant professional or other work experience with supporting recommendations may qualify as an adequate substitute for the appropriate academic credentials, however work experience will not take the place of an undergraduate degree."
- hackermailman 10y agoUniverity of IL is also vague about this on the degree requirements page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13385544 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13385544 I would assume it's a hard dependency for any US school Msc offering. I do know in many European countries you can take a Pre-Masters which is a 2 semester program to make you eligible. For example TU/e has an english taught Msc in security with some classes taught by Tanja Lange and DJ Bernstein https://www.tue.nl/en/university/departments/mathematics-and-computer-science/education/graduate-programs/masters-programs/information-security-technology/degree-structure/ https://www.tue.nl/en/university/departments/mathematics-and... with the requirements being that Pre-masters program for non degree holders (sadly, not online option as you do research and conduct a Masters Thesis).
