Can I go from a Physics Bachelor's degree to a Comp Sci Master's?

[QUOTE="SirLog, post: 6507561, member: 691876"] Hi, I recently graduated with a Physics and (pure) Math double major but I'm having a bit of a crisis on where to go with my life. I'd like to pursue a Physics PhD, but I'm trying to think of a plan B in case that doesn't work out. I have a general interest in math and programming, so I was wondering if I had a chance at getting a CS Masters at a well-ranked program. I have a 3.88 GPA from a top 10 school in the US, but took practically no CS courses (only an Intro to Java and Intro to Python course). As part of my physics research, I've created a few websites, modeled astronomical data and worked on a database. I was supervised by Physics professors who wrote rec letters for my physics PhD application, so perhaps I could ask them for letters for a CS application. I'd love to work for a company like Google, but I'm not sure how realistic that would be at this point. Other than physics or CS, I'm really not sure what else I could see myself doing. I'm worried that I put all my eggs into one basket as an undergrad. I'd really appreciate any advice, thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
