Definitely worth it. I have actually used my classes in AI and Simulation Theory along with Numerical Analysis a ton. I started as a hacker--coder not cracker--from childhood with basic/assembler/c and only one undergrad comp sci course and often rely on my MSCS to lend authority to my knowledge of computers. It can't hurt to get a MIS masters instead or a masters in engineering management and lean heavily on the basics; Algorithms and Data Structures, Theory of computation, and operating systems/computer architecture. You can study simulation, ai or numerical analysis at your leisure using a MOOC. Stanford is great, so is the FastAi course. You will not need a ton of math beyond diff-eq and linear algebra, heavier on the linear algebra.
