There are many people looking for Computer Science Master's programs without a Bachelor's degree - hoping for a way to earn a Master's without first having to do a Bachelor's. Certainly in America, 99% of colleges and universities requires a Bachelor's degree to get into a Master's degree, making most Master's programs either out of reach financially or very distant due to the time it takes to complete a Bachelor's degree with all its requirements.
There are modern colleges, however, that offer a computer science Master's program without a bachelor's requirement. Let's dive in to what's possible for those without a degree.
Can You Enroll in a Computer Science Master’s Program Without a Bachelor’s?
Yes, you can! Traditionally, pursuing a master’s degree in computer science required a related bachelor’s degree. However, innovative programs like Qwasar Silicon Valley’s Master’s of Computer Science (MSCS) are changing the landscape by offering opportunities to learners from all academic backgrounds.

Why It’s So Difficult to Find Senior Machine Learning Engineers
Feb 20, 2024 11:16:53 AM / by Jennifer Robertson
Undoubtedly, 2023 was the year of AI - AI went mainstream, the number of AI companies exploded, as did funding for and investments in AI companies.
It was also the year that the number of machine learning engineer jobs went through the roof compared to previous years.
It’s not just interest in ML jobs that has grown, but the actual number itself has exploded.
LinkedIn listed AI Engineer as one of the Top 10 Fastest Growing Roles for 2024 in a recent article this month.
Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology just released a data analysis that AI developer/engineer jobs increased by 25.8% from 2018 to 2022, surpassing 5 million jobs.
The growth of the number of jobs has made it very difficult to hire - and it’s not just that technologies such as OpenAI, Mistral AI, Bard and other models with APIs are so new.
Companies want Senior Machine Learning engineers, not mid-level, junior, or entry-level.
So why is it so hard to hire a Senior Machine Learning Engineer?
Let’s take a quick look to find out.
2023 Saw Growth, Revenue. 2024 Set for Further Expansion.
Jan 25, 2024 8:59:52 AM / by Jennifer Robertson
What a year 2023 was and what does 2024 hold?! 2023 was decisively the year that killed a LOT of bootcamps, apprenticeships, and competitors - but for Qwasar, we had a pretty great year. As we look at the next 12 months, we wanted to take a look back at 2023 and share some company progress.
Here at Qwasar, we just launched a Master’s of Science in Computer Science program in partnership with Woolf. Our programs have always trained top-level, quality talent, as evidenced by our consistently better outcomes compared to other non-degree programs, so in many ways this was a natural progression for us.
We see our certificate programs, Master’s program, and apprenticeship programs as keys to unlocking new opportunities for learners and significant opportunities for companies to recruit quality talent trained for the modern software industry.
What are Advanced Engineering Apprenticeships?
Apr 3, 2023 2:15:16 PM / by Jennifer Robertson
Advanced Engineering Apprenticeships are apprenticeship programs in subject areas that require advanced technical training as opposed to other tech apprenticeships that focus on subject areas that are less technically difficult.
There is a significant difference in the level of technical skill between an “advanced” apprenticeship and a “normal” apprenticeship in industry today.
Examples of advanced engineering apprenticeships include:
- Embedded software engineering
- Backend software engineering (C/C++, Rust, Go, etc.)
- DevOps engineering
- AI/machine learning, including CUDA and similar performance engineering
