Specifically after not spending your entire undergrad on that level of critical thinking and pure logic.

      4 months late, but I hope you see this comment. I just graduated and one of the professors I had is about 30 years behind the times. In one of my classes with him, we worked on prolog for 6 weeks, where we then compared it to Haskell as a logic vs functional language. Not the best use of modern languages, but despite the headaches, both languages were kind of fun to mess around with.

    Your case looks similar to mine, I also got first degree in human science and decided to change my curriculum the fastest way: a university-kind organisation with attitude - if you pay, you can study as long as you want, where 'master degree' is just a shortened version of bachelor degree by level of competency. I once got myself in debt studying in one of universities of London, and still failed. Now I study Master Degree in Computer Modeling at University of Vilnius(LT), I also needed prerequisites for that, but more modules:
    Discrete math, algorithms and ds, OOP, databases, computer architecture and software development - was a foundation year.
    Now I study: Nonlinear modeling, cryptography, spatial db, java tech, advanced algorithms, information security, data analysis, data visualization , master project on neural networks and thesis. That includes a lot of maths(differential equations, linear algebra, geometry etc)
    I probably should be hired by google if I were american. But I live in eastern europe :) and pay 0 money for my studies(excluding some course retakes)
    My advice: choose carefully what you are going to study

      Programs vary greatly even within the U.S (I'm Canadian, but have looked into this in the past).
      Though a 5 years Masters seems very excessive tbh, I'd understand if it was a PhD...the typical length of a Masters around here is anywhere within 1-3 years.

      @@theguitarist1290 You're right. In essence, it's a bachelor's and a master's combined - it's just that the program doesn't grant us a bachelor's degree. We need to finish the whole five years to get a degree, which will then be a master's.

      @@McKayPorter yes, that's the most likely explanation. However, I don't know how it works in US, but in Italy (and the rest of Europe I think) admittance into a MSc might be bound to passing extra exams if your BSc didn't cover enough of certain "knowledge areas", which I think would be the case if your major didn't give you a formal introduction to algorithms and data structures.
