Post-degree studies

So I've been accepted into Texas State's Graduate School for Computer Science. My goal is a Master's of Science in Computer Science, and it's going to be a long row to hoe getting there.

Since my first degree is non-Computer Science, there are some prerequisite courses that I need to fulfill (introductory C, Assembly, Calculus I and II already taken):

• C and C++ Programming (intermediate)
• Fundamentals of Computer Technology (sounds easy, but is Junior level course)
• Computer Architecture
• Data Structures
• Program Translators OR Operating Systems
• 6 hours of advanced computer science electives
• Discrete Mathematics

Once I complete these courses, I will have what is called a Certificate for Computer Science. From what I understand, the delta between a BS and a Certificate isn't huge, and while not exactly equivalent to a BS, the Certificate allows one to either get a job in the computer industry or enter graduate school.

After these I need to take the GRE, then onwards and upwards into Graduate School.
