Is it necessary to take advanced statistics before going to graduate school for Social Work?

I can't seem to fit advanced statistics into my schedule during senior year, and wonder if it's going to be a large disadvantage.

It somewhat depends on WHICH grad school you go to. The more the school has courses in research, expectations of a thesis or project, the more statistics will help you. Now the most important thing is to know how to use a computer based stats program.





Now in most MSW programs the research is pretty limited and a basic stats course is usually the only prereq. So in most cases you should be fine.

Reply:Hi, I'm in graduate school now, and if you have had a stats class while doing your BS/BA you should be fine. Actually it's easier at the grad., level.........and I am not a math person. I'm getting my MS in Behavioral Science and I graduate this December. Good luck, if you can do the undergrad stats, you can do the grad stats.
