For the last 10 years, our university has offered a two-semester bridge into a master’s in computer science for people with undergraduate degrees in non-computing disciplines. Since its inception, the program has expanded to nine campuses across North America and has opened admissions to students from all disciplines, including non-STEM disciplines. The bridge program has over 2,000 currently enrolled students with more than 50% women every year since 2020, and domestic enrolment has increased relative to direct entry master’s students. Our data show that bridge students, including those with non-STEM backgrounds, perform comparably to direct-entry students in terms of GPA. In a survey of bridge MSCS graduates with a 65% response rate, over 94% of graduates were employed in the tech industry, with a median disclosed salary of $120,000. We attribute the program’s sustained success to institutional investment in resources specifically designed to meet the unique needs of bridge students. These resources include dedicated academic and career advising, co-curricular programming to enhance retention and create a sense of belonging, and the hiring of full-time teaching faculty specifically recruited to teach these bridge students.
