Are you saying your wife's master's program in information systems has zero coding in it? If so, that's amazing. I think I probably wouldn't be able take a "master of information systems" entirely seriously if they couldn't code.

Information systems is something like a synonym for "computers and stuff"; if you're a master of "computers and stuff", you should know how to code.

I mean, imagine a "master of information systems" being embarrassed when they can't understand Python or Javascript written by their nephew or niece in fifth grade elementary school. Yikes!

If the program contains required courses involving coding, then that is covered. She will have to go through that, and then will either see the beauty of it all or not. In any case, you will be there for help or insights/perspectives.
