I mean an apostrophe! Should the apostrophe go before the "s" or after?

I would say not to put an apostrophe in or people might think you have a master.

Neither sentence should have any commas and part of your confusion is that your grammar is weak, too. #2: I'll never understand why some people, when they leave my room, never want to close the door. We call that "Biting the hand that feeds you." Good luck getting through life like that. Bye. You gonna argue with Gretchen too? You asked the question, don't ask if you don't want to hear the answers.

No apostrophe. And certainly no comma.

yes a master's degree because the degree belongs to master program if your subject belongs to something or is a word like he's you would put one in for he is to substitute the i its not called a comma though i believe its a hyphen

no comma, but there should be a apostrophe in "master's".

A comma signifies a pause in a sentence, and is never used in a word. It is used between words. So, no - do not put a comma in this sentence.
