Generally a degree isn't about the classes you took as much as it shows you had the discipline to go to finish the degree. I am surprised that they don't at least require a BS since it does require a minimum level of competence in science and math to complete.

I do agree with everyone else. It's their organization and they can require whatever they want. Are they going to miss a few super qualified people? Yes. Do they care? Nope.
