Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to enter grad school with a BA in CS, and try to obtain a Masters in CS?
If so would it be required to take more math?

Not anywhere to fancy or prestigious as i know i probably wouldn't have a chance to get accepted. The closest place, that offers a masters in CS is Arkansas State.

I have the answer for that, and the answer is no you dont have to take any more math. which i thinks is a good thing.

I didn't know anyone offered an MA in CS, but if you find one then you're probably "safe" from the scary math. However, if you only find MS programs, not only will you be required to take more math, but you'll probably have to take extra classes to fulfill their entry requirements. These classes are typically the graduate versions of B.S.C.S. major core courses. That's how it works here anyway.
