Yes. The simple answer is YES. As a general rule, it's better to get a Master's degree than just a Bachelor's degree. Of course, it's usually even better to get a Doctorate than just Master's & Bachelor's degrees. And just think, you get to stay in college longer too. Three, maybe four more years of halcyon days midst Elysian Fields, sharing ambrosia,wine, song and love on the campus of dear old Alma Mater and ...well, you get the point. Again, the simple answer is YES. As a general rule. In a surprising and somber commentary on the tragedy of poor souls who try their turn at bat in life using only a Bachelor's Degree in social work as a recommendation or credential, the original answerer of this question notes below: A bachelors in social work is pretty much useless except as a general education. If you intend to do any real social work you will need the masters degree. Answer: All of the above are great observations. If you are interested in non-clinical areas like organizing or administration, a Master's is less critical. In most states, you need a Master's to qualify for an independent, or "clinical" license. I would LOVE to have a PhD, but the truth is that (at least in the New England area) a PhD in Social Work doesn't increase one's imbursement rate from 3rd party payers by a single cent. So, unless you want to enter academia, a PhD would be quite an investment of resources with not much of a practical return.

Are masters degrees better than Ph.Ds?

The masters degree is advance study after completion of the bachelors degree. The PhD is the highest level of academic achievement, that typically follows a masters - although there are a few that can be pursued directly after completion of the bachelors. Still, it is not so much that one is better than the other. The better degree is the one that leads you to your personal career goals and objectives.

Which is more important to obtain in a good university the bachelor's or the master's degree?

Answer 1: The masters would be more important.Answer 2: The masters can't be earned until and unless one has first earned a bachelors; so what the questioner is really asking is: Is it better to get just a bachelors, or to go on, after that, and get a masters, too?And the answer to that question is that it depends on what kind of career and life one is pursuing. Generally speaking, it's better to have a masters than it is to just have a bachelors. But some careers just don't require that. And so, again, it all just depends on the career.If in doubt, though, get both. It can't hurt (though there are some jobs for which one can actually be "over-educated"); and the person with the masters will be a generally better-educated person.
