I actually wonder what percentage of people with a CS Masters degree has a CS undergrad. My guess is its less than 50% 🤔

Some of us try to career pivot...talk more about that. CS undergrads already have it made.

I have a Social Science degree but have been working as a Software Developer for 6 years. Do programs have a way to take those math and 'undergrad' courses while completing the masters?

So I'm currently a biology major going into my final year, I originally thought I wanted to go to med school but that has changed. Now I'm thinking of doing a computer science minor, so I can get a masters in computer science. Do you think that's a good idea? And what do you think my chances are for getting accepted to a comp sci masters program just from doing a minor? Thanks for this video, I've been struggling with a career change for some time and any advice would be helpful!

What did you do to fill your DS&A requirement? I noticed the OMSCS recommends a $500 MOOC course that they offer, but it also says that doesnt guarantee admittance. Id like to take the MOOC but maybe itd be better to take an actual course from an accredited college instead? Or do you think a MOOC that they recommend would suffice?
