I have a Social Science degree but have been working as a Software Developer for 6 years. Do programs have a way to take those math and 'undergrad' courses while completing the masters?
You might be able to test out or use professional experience to avoid some of the undergrad prereqs. Always worth asking the admissions team of the program you are interested in!
So I'm currently a biology major going into my final year, I originally thought I wanted to go to med school but that has changed. Now I'm thinking of doing a computer science minor, so I can get a masters in computer science. Do you think that's a good idea? And what do you think my chances are for getting accepted to a comp sci masters program just from doing a minor? Thanks for this video, I've been struggling with a career change for some time and any advice would be helpful!
What did you do to fill your DS&A requirement? I noticed the OMSCS recommends a $500 MOOC course that they offer, but it also says that doesnt guarantee admittance. Id like to take the MOOC but maybe itd be better to take an actual course from an accredited college instead? Or do you think a MOOC that they recommend would suffice?
Hi, so I have degree in business and law. I'm currently practicing as a lawyer, however, I want to make a swtich into computer science. I'm looking into colleges for Masters, do you think this is possible, will I get accepted? I've started learning python and data structures online via udemy courses.
@@willelliottYT brother thank you so much .and I had another question that Is I need to know any computer science basics then what should I know? For instance(programming languages)because it is very helpful for me when I will get into Ms .
@@g.lingeshwaran4868 most CS programs will require object oriented programming experience, data structures and algorithms, and linear algebra/math fundamentals.
@@willelliottYT brother do you know any books for algorithms,data structure,liner/algebra or any you tube channel who is teaching these kind of things(basics).Thank you brother. And how days it take to learn programming ?.so brother can we create a software like Microsoft or Macintosh it is possible?.Thank you brother
@@g.lingeshwaran4868 if your goal is to get into a computer science masters degree program you are going to want to take for-credit college courses on these topics. If you just want to learn for fun there are plenty of resources here on UA-cam.
Hello sir , I have completed my bachelor's in aeronautical engineering with a cgpa of 8.36 from India. I want to do my masters in computer science? Does work experience help ?
Bro bachelor degree in Aeronautical engg in itself sounds very interesting job. Why do want to pursue computer degree over it?? Do you want to completely change your career or just you want to keep it as minor??
@@onlyhumanity6148 The jobs in the aeronautical field are very limited and challenging.Ik it sounds really fascinating and that's what led me to opt for mechanical engineering in my undergrad,as mechanical and aeronautical have almost similar courses .I wanted to pursue ms in aerospace after this but I've changed plans now and hence I'm in the comment section of this video.
I think they serve different purposes. Boot camps are geared to get new people up to speed quick on particular skills, example web dev. While a MS in CS is to teach experienced people advanced skills.
@@willelliottYT thanks. I’m working on a post bacc degree in computer science now. Hope to get a MSc afterwards. Someone told be i might be committing professional suicide because bootcamps are preferred over degrees. But my goals aren’t web development. I’m more interested in VLSI, NoC/SoC, and embedded systems. I don’t think bootcamps cover those topics.
@@michaelovadiyah659 Whoever told you that has no idea what they're talking about. A computer science degree is much more valuable than graduating from a bootcamp. Finish that degree and try to get an internship before graduation. Practice your leetcode as well
@@willelliottYT Hi, Recently I found they have removed the 4-yr degree Mention on their website. Does that mean they are also accepting 3-year Bachelors's? Here's what their website says: " Preferred qualifications for admitted OMSCS students are an undergraduate degree in computer science or related field (typically mathematics, computer engineering, or electrical engineering) with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Applicants who do not meet these criteria will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. " Can you kindly inquire about the requirements?
I actually wonder what percentage of people with a CS Masters degree has a CS undergrad. My guess is its less than 50% 🤔
That's some comforting stats
Some of us try to career pivot...talk more about that. CS undergrads already have it made.

CS minor should help, might have to make up some more prereqs for some of the programs depending on what classes your minor covers.
I have a IT degree and I am considering either among of them cs, data science or physics for my masters. Can I take ms cs?
Thanks for upload. I subscribed your channel!
Thanks for the support

Illinois MCS offers a test out option
Can you send me MOOC course s link

Brother I had a doubt that I'm studying B.Pharm (Bachelor of pharmacy) am I eligible to take MS COMPUTER SCIENCE. Please reply brother,thank you.
If you have graduated with a 4 year bachelors degree with a 3.0 GPA or higher you are eligible.

Hi, if I have a four year degree in Occupational safety and health and I will like to take computer science in master. It's is possible? Thanks
Yes it’s possible as long as your 4 year degree is accredited and you have the necessary prerequisite skills

Where to take other than university
Do you think that Bootcamp and experience are replacing traditional CS or SW degrees?
I think they serve different purposes. Boot camps are geared to get new people up to speed quick on particular skills, example web dev. While a MS in CS is to teach experienced people advanced skills.
