Yes, capital "M" and an apostrophe.

Subject: Master's vs. Masters

After I completed my undergraduate degree, I elected to continue on to 
graduate school. My question is: Did I recieve a "Master's Degree," 
i.e. a degree belonging to a Master ( I will humbly interject here that 
there is in reality, precious little that I feel myself a 'master' of), 
or a "Masters Degree," that is a degree denoting that I am a master of 
several things somehow related to teaching. I've looked at a few random 
websites; some schools use the "apostrophe-'s'" and others the 's' 
without an apostrophe. Opinions, comments, clarifications?

Warren
