Masters in Computer Science
#15
Non STEM academic backgrounds are accepted, but they GENERALLY look for evidence of work or non-academic learning related to STEM which will allow for success in the CS field.

And even when accounting for that evidence, they're finding high attrition, which is the point I was making: "Their program is not at all friendly to those who do not have a strong background."

For what it's worth, I think a professional background in the field is much more telling than an academic background.

As ifomonay points out, there are plenty of CS majors that don't know how to write a line of code. That's why I appreciate the non-academic considerations GT includes.
