<p>Yeah, most CS Master’s programs will not let you count intro courses, while a bachelor’s program will. So for the MS, you have to finish your BA, take the prereq classes not for degree credit, apply for MS admissions, then do a year or two of coursework. For the bachelor’s you have to do a year or two of coursework. I think the bachelor’s makes much more sense.</p>
<p>A master’s is overkill for most programming jobs anyways. A MS in CS with a non-CS (or related field) bachelor’s may actually be less marketable than a bachelor’s in CS.</p>
