How hard is it for a non CS undergrad to get into the Masters CS program?

Quite frankly, you will be playing catch up. Firstly, to be honest with you, I do not think they will accept you simply because they look for grads who already have a degree in CS. And amongst those thousands that apply[CS majors] they look for the cream of the crop. CSE department just hired 5 more faculty members, so it’s not like they will accept just anybody into the program. Try a CUNY school, since they are more appropriate in your case. I know they accept non-majors.

You are missing a bunch of courses, that are required for your graduate program to make sense.

Let’s see,

CSE114,214,220,219,320,305,306,307.

That’s just the core, let alone the electives that usually hammer in the knowledge you’ve learned.
