You seem to be approaching this in the wrong way; you seem to be asking yourself, "What's the least amount of time and money I need to put into this to get ANY job related to programming?" And if that's what you're asking, you shouldn't pursue this degree.
At the end of the day, you know what you want out of your life and you know how capable you are of learning programming on your own. Obviously taking a few ROR classes isn't going to give you a strong foundation that would allow you to develop a versatile skill set; but if you just want a Web Dev job, then it could be the right move for you.
Grad School is a big investment no matter what you choose to pursue, and to me, Comp Sci provides the biggest return on investment of all the possibilities and gives you an empowering skill set.
