Did you actually look at the course listings? The final year includes courses in NLP, AI, Neural Networks, Data Compression, Computer Security. Sounds pretty "computer science" to me...

I did not, but do you expect the people reviewing your resume/credentials to look at the course listings? There's a reason job listings specifically ask for a CS degree. It's not necessarily a good reason, but it needs to be acknowledged. I don't have one, BTW, hence why I'm interested in an online course.
