If there are posts on the WGU website about the MSCS program, I haven't seen them. The only information I have been able to get on it has been filtered through my mentor. It sounds like they are working on ABET programmatic certification for the BSCS and MSCS and will likely officially announce the MSCS program once ABET is confirmed.
WGU will likely require a BS in CS and won't admit you no matter how many CS credits you have.
My assumption is that they will require either a BSCS, BSSD, BSIT, and/or X number of years of documented experience in a CS/SD related field. But we won't know until the program requirements are established.
In any case, I'm not too worried about it. If I can't meet WGU's requirements for some reason, I have other options.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
