I would like to be a counselor or social worker but I couldn't pass undergrad statistics. I took it 3 times and have failed each. Also never understood algebra. What are some masters programs that are quality versus quantity based and don't require a math or stats class. I know psychology does but does counseling or something similar? Please suggest ideas for grad programs that don't require any math, thanks!

Any grad program in the social sciences worth it's salt requires academic-level research, which means having to learn and apply basic stats.

I had to take an advanced stats class for my undergrad psych degree. I would think there would be some math in a psych degree, probably depending on the concentration like Psychometrics, etc.
So, you are not really picky about the degree that may lead to a career, just that it does not have math in it? Counseling degrees would be a good bet and also like you mentioned Social Work.
A MSW doesn't require math per se, but their are multiple research classes, so you need to understand and apply statistics.
I don't understand what you mean by "quality versus quantity based," but some of the things you can look into are English, Communication and Theology/Religious Studies programs.
I'm assuming the OP means something like qualitative research v. quantitative research. Just about every graduate program in the social sciences and applied social sciences (social work and criminal justice) require research methods courses, but these often only require understanding the concepts of statistics. You don't have to actually do any calculations. As long as the program doesn't require statistics as a prerequisite and/or include a graduate-level statistics course in the degree plan, then you should be alright. You should at least take an undergraduate research methods course to see if you will understand the concepts.
Did you even finish undergrad? How can you get any kind of degree without some kind of college level math course? Sorry, not trying to come off as rude, I am just asking. I am thinking for Social Sciences you would need either Pre-Calc or a basic stats course.

I was thinking the same thing. I believe that every graduate degree at my University required at least one statistics class.
Even my masters degree in Early Childhood Development/Administration required two graduate level Statistics classes. My undergraduate teaching degree also required statistics classes.
With the exception of an MAT or Law school, I am pretty sure every other graduate degree requires that you be able to actually do research. That means you must be able to pass statistics.

I am pretty sure that all of the graduate programs at my school require statistics in undergrad or an undergrad stat class when you get into the graduate program. It is a requirement so you can take research methods courses.
