Commas...

Considering this sentence:



He received his XXX diploma in 19xx from the YYY Institute, CityOne after

which he began a Master’s degree track in FieldA as well as FieldB at the

ZZZ Institute, CityTwo.

Should a comma follow CityOne? Is a comma required with as well as? Is this sentence OK as written?
