Applied CS Master's with no GRE? - susanah4 - 08-26-2025
Anyone know of an applied CS Master's with no GRE requirement for someone with a 3.0 GPA in Software Development? Don't have the math for a theory heavy CS and needs to be a program that a large financial institution would consider "acceptable" to be enrolled in for an internship so nothing piecemeal will work. TIA

What do you mean by piecemeal? What would make one program piecemeal and another program non-piecemeal?

As far as no GRE, most of the online programs don't require it. However, master's degrees are almost by definition "theory heavy" that's why they call it computer science. Your best bet might be to look into a few programs, mapping out the courses you would have to take and see how you feel about each of them. Depending on the degree to which you get to choose your track, you might find one that you would be comfortable with.
If you were interested in something like CyberSec, a few of those programs have tracks intended for non-technical majors. Georgia Tech, for example.

Ok, looking for an easy master with no real challenge. Have you thought about ENEB MA in KI? It is cheap, most people here would agree it is doable to most... it needs a BA so.
