Hm, that's a good point. I've added some schools to my list. Originally, I thought I had excluded all schools based on availability of night-time classes and how far they were. I also looked at some professional distance-learning programs, but I think people generally have a low opinion of what they call a "fake" degree. I've added a few schools to my list. I did a bit more thinking, and I decided to go ahead and take the prerequisite courses. I hope it'll do a few things: 1) Get me ready for the GRE/CS 2) Give me a solid foundation for grad-level course work 3) I can ease into studying/working at the same time. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the responses. The school is Columbia, and that's the only one because I am also working in that area (So, I would be part time). this also means that cost is less of an issue, because I have tuition assistance. In terms of specializations, I think I want to try for a software- or architecture- oriented programs, although that could make little sense. Again, I am still a beginner in this process.

Hi all, New member, and first post. I'm a recent graduate and thinking of applying to a masters program in Computer Science. I have done a good amount of research already but still have a few lingering questions I was hoping y'all could help me answer. I am an undergraduate math degree, not computer science. Despite having a knack for math, I know pretty much nothing about computer science. So, I think I've narrowed down my options: Track 1 Take prerequisite undergraduate courses at target school (yes, I can only feasibly think about applying to one school)Self-study and take CS GRE with class notesApply with CS GRE and revised GRE Take prerequisite undergraduate courses at target schoolSubmit ONLY revised GRE scoresApply Buy a general theory CS textbook and self study for subject GREApply with revised GRE and CS GREPossibly save money by not needing to take prerequisites?Track 4 [*]Use revised GRE and apply. ALL IN, BABY! If anyone has any advice or suggestions please let me know! Thanks! - Pete
