  1. Re:Graduate School on Ask Slashdot: How Should a Liberal Arts Major Get Into STEM? · · Score: 1
    If you know what field you're interested in, I recommend a "professional Masters degree". I work for a university offering such a program in CS; we routinely admit liberal arts majors interested in a career change. They take as little as 3 undergrad prereqs. Most do quite well after graduation.

    An alternative is an undergrad "certificate" program. These are cheaper, but are often misunderstood by employers. Don't get a second bachelors degree; there's too much "core".

    Almost nobody will give you support for a professional masters. The opening post for this thread seems to be describing PhD programs. Most of our students get through on loans. At least in CS, it's a pretty safe investment.
