Astrophysics. (Huge fucking mistake.) As for the latter, that is actually a pretty tough question to answer. MS programs DO have specializations, and the format of the courses is usually halved around general courses and specialized ones. Once the thesis is done, the title itself is just 'M.A., Physics.' From what I have heard and read, however, there are really no standards at all attesting to the correct terminology. Each uni does it according to its whims. And all that might have changed since 1999, so take all that I say about this with a military-issue teaspoon of salt.
Anyway, I just wanted to say my training (which is irrelevant to my current status anyway) is in an irrelevant field so I will not even dream to make or to have others make an appeal to authority on my behalf. Still, the race-deniers' arguments are so terrible that a schoolkid could figure out their sophistry.
(rest of the reply not especially for you)
Even though it's extremely more complicated, tedious and obvious, they are saying that
Example 1) These letter sequences cannot be classified:
AAAhhprgwqnrotehjqju
AAAcfrokuqlgsjpjifly
AAAhnfhrflrdicwlsziv
AAArtesvhqjicmvgnxdk
BBBwrnlddxpwswgoznen
BBBwkkjetmjvgkmntnmw
BBBxprdwyqusiprnfwhq
BBBiqmextqzlxgxjrcmw
Because there is more variation within (non-patterned) than within (patterned) them. Right. This is the nation-wrecking Jews' great argument against racial classification that every one of their extended phenotypes is repeating.

We have generated an independently assembled diploid human genomic DNA sequence from both chromosomes of a single individual (J. Craig Venter). Our approach, based on whole-genome shotgun sequencing and using enhanced genome assembly strategies and software, generated an assembled genome over half of which is represented in large diploid segments (>200 kilobases), enabling study of the diploid genome. Comparison with previous reference human genome sequences, which were composites comprising multiple humans, revealed that the majority of genomic alterations are the well-studied class of variants based on single nucleotides (SNPs). However, the results also reveal that lesser-studied genomic variants, insertions and deletions, while comprising a minority (22%) of genomic variation events, actually account for almost 74% of variant nucleotides. Inclusion of insertion and deletion genetic variation into our estimates of interchromosomal difference reveals that only 99.5% similarity exists between the two chromosomal copies of an individual and that genetic variation between two individuals is as much as five times higher than previously estimated. The existence of a well-characterized diploid human genome sequence provides a starting point for future individual genome comparisons and enables the emerging era of individualized genomic information.
This one is especially funny because Craig Venter is probably the most stupid race-denier alive. He's the idiot who proclaimed a few years back that, BASED SOLELY ON HIS OWN GENOME (hint for the retarded - no genetic variation), race does not exist. Every 'scientist' complied, except for Harpending which called him on his bullshit, even if quite limitedly. The media was in full RDNE cry.
So, let's continue:
[...] reveals that only 99.5% similarity exists between the two chromosomal copies of an individual [...]
If the genocidal extended phenotypes of nation-wrecking Jews otherwise referred to as race-deniers would be consistent, one would have to conclude that the individual known as Venter is a social construct, has no biological or genetic validity, and is thus more similar to other people than himself.
