Master's for software engineering or CS - KittenBat - 05-17-2023
I am graduating with a bachelor's in liberal studies mathematics and natural sciences and a computer science associate. I would like to get a software engineering masters degree, I am looking for a school that is in the 10-14k range and will accept my not too stellar GPA of 2.75. I found fort hays but I would prefer a software engineering degree. Help please

@KittenBat, Welcome to the board, that's a very good introduction post. I guess you're just looking for affirmation Fort Hays is a good choice and also see if there are alternatives. I was just wondering where you got the Associates and where you're going to graduate from with the BALS, is it TESU? Generally, I ask people to fill us in with more details from the template/last post addendum here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-New-to-DegreeForum-How-this-Area-works
My suggestion is to complete the template as your intro covers a bit of that, do also provide us more details within the last post addendum, we want to know about your budget, commitments, your study habits and preferences, tuition reimbursements, whatever else that you can think of that is mentioned in the addendum (beyond what you mentioned). With a clearer picture, it would be a better overview of your situation and we can advise accordingly.
Note: I suggest you have a short list created, then shrink that list to a top 3 choices of yours and top 3 backup options. The one you listed is mentioned when you do searches or view the graduate section, I did a few for Masters in Applied Science and related degrees. Masters are a dime a dozen when HR looks though applications, everyone is shooting for them... Does it have to be MS Comp Sci, Software Engineering, or would something else very similar suit you more? That's why I asked what your undergrad is from, you can either ladder up from those, or shoot in another slightly different direction.
