				I am interested in grad school but in renewable energy where China is the work leader.  
 
 
Has anyone studied in fields outside ESL? |

				Assume you mean 'world' leader.
 
Not sure where you got your figures. 
 
But I guess China has most to gain from improving its renewables generation. |

Are you referring to a university program in China or one at a western university that focuses on forms of renewal energy that are big in China?  
 
 
Anyway, the problem with getting a master's degree in the sciences is that your undergrad degree generally is required to be in a related field. In other words, you're expected to further develop your skills and knowledge in the field via a master's degree. However, there are exceptions: for example, Penn State's MPS in Renewable Energy and Sustainability Systems. |
