Does Human Computer Interaction (HCI) graduate programs require strong comp sci experience?

I'm not sure how much this will help, but I'm in a library science program right now at Indiana University, and I know a lot of Info Science people who are doing HCI work. Most of them have some good computer background, but there are certainly people picking it up as they go in some of the earlier cles, because some of the info science cles are open to the library science people, and I know that most of us didn't have much in the way of a computer background when we got here. Hopefully you'll get more about experiences, but I think you could certainly do it.
