Preparation for Programming before Masters (liberal arts background)

Hi all -

I completed an undergrad in liberal arts but now want to move to the tech side and become a software engineer. I am considering M.S. in Computer Science programs (mainly the one with NYU Tandon) due to location and cost reasons (other suggestions welcome). I plan to use 2021 to prepare myself for a M.S. in Comp Sci and have compiled a list of courses to teach my programming. Can members here assist me by vetting this list? I understand C++ is used in a lot of programs but for now I wanted to learn Python first to dabble into the programming field. How good would these courses be in preparing me for an M.S. in Comp Sci and/or programming in general? Any revisions that you would make? Thank you
