CS Master's Degree
What school allows non-CS grad students to pursue a Master's Degree in CS?
NOTE: I have a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering.
- floridianfisher 13y agoI would like to know this as well.
- jlund3 13y agoFrom what I understand, many schools allow this with some required provisional courses to prove that you are competent with CS fundamentals. That said, you'll want a solid math background and you'll want to be at least decent at writing code. For this reason, people who do this typically come from math, stats, or engineering backgrounds.
- raginbajin 13y agoBoth UIUC and UIS (University of Illinois) both have Master's programs that will accept students that are non-cs grads. Like what @jlund3 mentioned, they just need to have some CS fundamental classes or be able to show that you have those skill sets.
- mechgrad 13y agoPlenty of schools will you just usually will have to take some undergrad courses like jlund said to make sure you have the knowledge. Source: doing this from a mechanical engineering degree this year. What I did, went and talked to my local university's CS advisor to see how I could pursue a degree in CS and they suggested that instead of a second bachelors I go for a MS. So if you have a local college you would like to go to or if your alma mater has a degree program that interests you I suggest making an appointment with an advisor to talk about options. Many times you can start off non-degree and switch to degree seeking grad after a set amount of hours.
