Northern Arizona University?

What difference does it make if someone has a degree in one of those fields or a BS in another field plus an undergraduate/post-baccalaureate certificate or equivalent credits? There is no difference. It's a poorly thought out requirement. 

...

I would like to know which certification would demonstrate that someone is prepared to complete an MS in CS. Is there a certification that requires you to know calculus and discrete math?

I don't understand what you're saying about WGU's masters in data analytics. 
What exactly is the "poorly thought out requirement"? 
The fact that they want someone to complete Udacity's nanaodegree in Data Analysis to prove knowledge in statistics and programming ? 
or a SAS programming certificate ? $180 
or a Oracle SQL certificate ? $245  

someone could have a BS in Criminal Justice and then for less than the cost of one 3 credit upper level course at a private university complete both the SAS and Oracle exam and prove they have the stats knowledge, programming knowledge and database knowledge to succeed in the MS program 
AND get credit for those certificates 

as for admission into a MS in CS program ...
as far as I can tell this is the only school to offer an ABET accredited MS in CS and they don't require a BS in CS  (but say students without one will have take some undergrad course work)

the university of chicago has an MS in CS that only requires programming and math experience (the programming experience can be from courses or from work experience)

WGU could simply make Calculus an admission requirement for their MS in CS just as they made pre-calc an admission requirement for the BS in CS
