Could you please elaborate? It looks like this program is only for people that already have an CS-related degree.

What courses are you taking?

Other Masters have acceptance programs for this as well. I know that Delft TU has an 'introduction' year which covers everything you need for the masters years (two). It does require a technical (of sorts) bachelor and has a low success rate due to it containing all the difficult subjects in one instead of multiple years like in the regular CS Bachelors and skipping over any form of specialization courses. Not completely undoable, but difficult non the less.

I imagine there are multiple universities around the globe offering the same sort of educational entry.

While it was shown in the article it doesn't matter at interviews, we (at my company) do require technical masters degrees. Though it does not need to be a CS master. The form of individual thinking combined with analytics and methodology we found to be far better at those completing (any/a) Masters degree than those without. Especially self-reliance, which is important if you do not have groups of 10+ devs working together.

Which program are you doing?

Is this UChicago's program? I did a masters there without a CS background, and it was amazing. Incredibly hard, but amazing. The beauty of it is that they ramp you up on the mathematics and programming if required with a few additional classes. They also let you test out of either if you already know it. Doing that masters was one of the best things I've ever done.

I am curious what program you are taking as well.
