Do you already know how to program? If so, what languages and how proficient. It sounds like you've been thinking about this for awhile, but don't rush into anything.
There are some edx online courses for free and plenty of programming books to get you a little experience to see if you even like it. Bootcamps might be able to get you a job and they actually focus on more of the practical building of software, but a computer science degree still looks better to many employers from what I've heard. Having an advanced degree already might help fill that void though. If you haven't programmed before, you may not actually like it. I'd recommend doing some small to medium sized projects first to also get a feel for it.
