Path to MSCS

[bjcheung77]

Welcome to the board, great initial post to get the ball rolling... nice addendum and template along with extra info.  Great options listed as well in the reply... It really boils down to what you're looking for and how you want to re-route your pathway to that educational journey.  My suggestion is to get the balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience, you also want to minimize or maximize the cost, energy, time to getting those goals completed. 

There various pathways to get there, here's my list of suggestions, and it starts with the cheapies/freebies first to verify if you're really into CS and/or Software Engineering.  I suggest getting all the Coursera Certs that grant ACE recommend for college credit, this gets you the knowledge and fills learning gaps... Take a few months and get the Google and/or IBM certs of your choice completed.  Link: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Coursera

From the looks of things, you're willing to start from the beginning and work your way up...
TESU ASCS> BACS> Coursera/Edx Masters or recommended public/state ones in the graduate subforum
Alternative Backup Option: Excelsior AAS Comp Tech> BSCS > Coursera/Edx Masters (as above)

CUNY SPS BSIS> MS Data Science - A one and done option from an in-state university
It's not a CS degree ladder, but in a very similar related subject area and is more specialized
Note: If you're looking at Applied CS/DS/IS or similar programs, you don't need the undergrad CS degree
