SWK 3350 - Quantitative Data Analysis in Social Work

Credits: 4
The proposed course provides students with opportunities to develop a comprehensive understanding of quantitative data analysis and research methods in social work. It builds upon SOWK 3349 (Methods in Social Work Research) to provide the skills, knowledge and values necessary to function as beginning generalist social work practitioners/researcher. A particular focus of the proposed course is the analysis of secondary data, especially data relating to social work agencies and the communities they serve, as a way to test hypotheses relating to social work practice.
