> Here is another one: Why do I need to complete a bachelors degree in order to join a CS master program?

Some masters programs let you join with no bachelors. I have a masters and PhD in CS but no bachelors in anything. It wasn't any kind of special programme and I'm not any kind of gifted student either (my grades were quite low.)

Every school that has tried to get me to consider their masters CS programs (despite not realizing I don’t have a bachelors) so far has rejected me on the basis that I don’t have a bachelors. Definitely curious where you went.

Looks like University of Bristol. In the UK, it's common for universities to offer undergraduate masters programs, which are basically the regular 3-year bachelors program with another year tacked on for the masters education as far as I can tell.
