WGU could simply make Calculus an admission requirement for their MS in CS just as they made pre-calc an admission requirement for the BS in CS

This assumes that Calculus is actually a requirement. We don't know what the requirements are at this point.

From what I'm told this is expected to be a terminal degree for people coming from both the Software Development and Computer Science programs at WGU, and the SD program doesn't have a math entrance requirement nor is Calculus or Discrete Math part of the course curriculum (only Applied Algebra, and that is a GenEd for the BS degree itself). So there may not be a math requirement at all, just a degree and/or experience requirement.

Speaking of, I was just looking at the GATech OMSCS as a point of comparison and they don't list a math requirement either. They prefer BSCS students but will accept folks without a CS degree with sufficient support. This could imply an expectation of higher math, but it isn't a requirement. The math needs probably depend more on the focus of the degree program and it seems like you can build the degree in many different ways based on the course catalog. Likewise, the WGU MSCS may end up with a software development track that isn't math-heavy.

In any case, I think we're getting a bit off-topic here. Maybe we should start a new thread to speculate about the WGU MSCS?
