No. I believe the requirement is a couple of basic programming courses (the Stanford equivalent would be 106A and 106B), a class on discrete mathematics and algorithms, and probably one other thing I am forgetting.
As far as I remember, though, Stanford doesn't have a dual MBA/MS, C.S. program (at least in the way Anderson does). Which is to say, you'd probably need to apply to each program separately. Which is to say, I don't know if you'd necessarily be a competitive applicant if you'd completed just the bare minimum coursework.

Thanks for the info, the program that interest me most is the joint degree with ms enviromental resources.
Stanford MBA/MS CS Joint Program (Originally Posted: 09/17/2013)

Last week Stanford announced its joint program, I was just wondering if anyone here would be interested in a program like that that. I suppose I understand the inspiration behind the program, being geared towards people with a bend toward tech entrepreneurship but man is that tuition hit really painful at ~ $162,000.
I think this is really interesting, especially as a math major myself. Although I think a more interdisciplinary MS program like symbolic systems might be cooler with the MBA.
I don't see the point tbh. If you want a CS degree you can get it for cheap at Extension Schools or even at Code School (if this is for tech entrepreneurship).
Stanford joint MBA & MS CS Program (Originally Posted: 03/11/2015)
I’ve been looking at MBA programs, and I came across the joint MBA & MS CS program form Stanford. I have always been interested in computer science, and I even took a C++ course in school.
Do you think the joint program from Stanford can give you an edge when competing for VC FT positions?
Mind you I have no IB experience
Do you have a CS background? Going to be tough to get into the Comp Sci background without some background in CS.
No background, but the program does not required any CS background.
The program is designed for the following kind of people:
1) CS background, intentions to advance their career in CS, but would also like to get a business foundation.
2) Business background, intention to work in a start up or technology business. The MS CS allows them to have a better understanding of the industry ( not many MBA's do?
