CS from a BA in Philosophy (and PgDip in Journalism)

<p>If you want a Masters in Computer SCIENCE (not Computer Information Systems) then you would need courses first in:</p>

<p>Calculus I
Calculus II
Linear Algebra
Introductory Programming I (C++ or Java)
Introductory Programming II (C++ or Java)</p>

<p>…just so that you can take the CS Core of:</p>

<p>Algorithms & Data Structures
Organization of Programming Languages
Operating Systems</p>

<p>Which is the minimum for admission for most graduate CS programs.</p>

<p>There MAY be some MSCS programs for those without the above background, but like Simba said, they are disappearing and more schools are pushing those folks without the background to the Information Systems or Information Technology majors.</p>
