		There's UPenn's Online MSIT and GeorgiaTech's OMSCS.  
Are you located in the US? I'm surprised to hear about the Masters degree requirements. From what I read on forums and communities like  TeamBlind and r/cscareerquestions, a masters is completely unnecessary unless you want to go into data science.

		Oh yeah, in addition to the competency based degree options I linked earlier in post #6, Pikachu mentioned a couple of MOOC's. Basically, that is another option as these can be done in partnership with Coursera, Edx, FutureLearn, Udacity, and if you can handle it, UpGrad as well.  I would check out another high ranking institution, U of Texas-Austin...

Penn's relevant online options would actually be an  MCIT "specifically for students without a background in computer science" or an  MSE in Data Science.

look for something different 
Honestly, maybe so. My eldest just got a decent job as a programmer with a BS from Charter Oak with the Information Systems concentration (same degree as mine; it's not even the CompSci concentration). The lesson was that if you can program, and your GitHub profile shows it, then you're hirable.
