STEM masters degrees for non-STEM majors
#6
I did look into this for computer science a while back. Ultimately decided to go for 2nd Bachelor’s as any true MSCS was going to be very difficult for me without proper foundation and would largely consist of theoretical algorithm work that wouldn’t be very applicable to my career goals anyway. Here was the list I was considering.
That being said Masters in IT programs are often much more forgiving of diverse undergrad than Masters in CS. Many more options there but I wanted a CS degree.

Ball State University MSCS
$476 per credit + fee
Coursera Pathway Courses for Non STEM
Pathway courses ARE included in degree count and starts from basics
36 credits

Merrimack College
$671 per credit
32 credits
Starts from basics

Franklin University MSCS
36 credits +  12 pathway credits (3 courses * 4 credits each for Non STEM undergrad)
$670 per credit

U of Colorado Boulder
16K ($525 per credit)
Cousera pathway courses
30 credits. Pathway courses included in the degree count
Very difficult coursework. Will allow people in without undergrad but you would need to have CS undergrad level knowledge to reasonably pass this program

Georgia Tech OMSCS
$7K total
Very difficult coursework. Will allow people in without CS undergrad (if you’ve taken a year or two of CS classes) but you would need to have CS undergrad level knowledge to reasonably pass this program

UPenn MCIT
>$1200 per credit
Ivy League. Basically Bachelors in CS curriculum rebranded as a “Computer and Information Technology” Masters

Cumberlands MCS
$355 per credit
Unsure about undergrad prerequisite but it was in my notes to look into
