(applied) math/cs masters without bachelors in math/cs?

dear fellow monkeys,

do you know of any reputable master's programs in applied math/computer science that dont require a bachelor's in math/cs? my bachelor's is in econ, but i wanna get a more quantitative degree (i am not that interested in fin math though ... )

i am interested in programs in the US as well as in Europe.

i very much appreciate any answers

cheers.

Have you taken [at least] calc 1-3, linear algebra, ODE? Do you know C++, R, Matlab, Java, Python?

I'll do what I can to help ya'll. But, the game's out there, and it's play or get played.
 

yes, i took all those courses plus some stat, econometrics, finance, etc. i know java, python and matlab (and also javascript, but that probably doesn't really help), but no C++ or R. are they similar to the other languages?

thanks for your input
