Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject. Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
The energy sciences refer to the study of green technologies such as solar, geothermal, wind and biomass power. Students will often learn about the generation of alternative energy while studying sociology, economics and environmental science.
