While the program you linked doesn't seem to, many MSCS programs are going to want a CS, EE, Math, or science degree. Job experience usually can be substituted for a specific degree, but there will often at least be prerequisite courses they will expect.

Coursera: Stanford Machine Learning (2019)
TESU: BA in Comp Sci (2016)

What is your career goal? Is this degree to help you get a job, a promotion? Are you changing fields? These 2 degrees are very different and don't have anything to do with the other so I'm not sure why you're looking at MIS and Supply Chain Management.

Of course how employable something is depends on other factors as well. But in general how is such a degree viewed? Would it make sense to take specific electives to quote on quote "build" a major? I thought about focusing my electives in a particular area such as IT (Through sites like sophia,study.com) and also math / some science courses to get all the basics covered for technology related jobs. Or do employers not really care about what courses I take and I should do it out of pure interest?
If UMPI had an IT degree I would take in a heartbeat. Not too fond of the pure business degrees (Especially something like accounting) I still think UMPI is the best option for me. I am also not American so options like WGU are out of the question.
As you are German you could probably just do the B.Eng in IT at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences in Finland. Its Self Paced aswell just gotta look around on the Website

I also considered the cost and UMPI seems to offer the flat rate tuition which seems much more appealing to me. But thanks for the heads up about potential prospects. I will likely pursue a graduate degree online or in person for which I will take the adequate coursework in the electives I have. I think people need to be realistic with their degree choices at the end of the day and what awaits them afterwards.
I still have a lot of time to complete my education so for now I will just go with the option that fits my circumstances the best and then after I got my first degree I will look into further education and also the opportunity for some internships.
https://online.york.ac.uk/study-online/m...ce-online/ I was thinking about something like this or another MS CS that is offered online (Provided I meet the prereqs of other masters degrees)
for the masters you could do the UT CS Masters for 10k its fully online aswell afaik
