Master of Advanced Study
For the degree of "Master of Advanced Studies", see Master of Advanced Studies.
The Master of Advanced Study (MAS) degree is a post-graduate professional degree issued by numerous academic institutions, but most notably by the University of California. MAS programs are tailored for "specific groups of working professionals with well-defined needs for advanced degree work." [1] As a result, MAS programs tend to "concentrate on a set of coordinated coursework with culminating projects or papers rather than emphasizing student research" and frequently are structured as interdisciplinary offerings.[2]
