I just feel like I’d have a better chance at getting a job if I had a more technical undergrad over a liberal arts BA. On the other hand I could bust my butt learning to code now, get a job sooner and worry about a degree later.

That's what the MS Applied Computer Science does, as I mentioned, it bridges the gap for people who have a non-technical degree or have no experience with coding, etc.  These type of masters are basically the fourth year of a bachelors and first year of a masters combined into one year, and a second year of extras to customize it to the students concentration of choice (where you get your specific specialty if you wanted to go into IT, Software Engineering, whatever)


Could you please share more about this MS in Applied Computer Science? There is very little I can find online. Has any forum member ever completed this program and what is the feedback? 
Thanks.
