I'm earning my BS in psychology and am planning on earning my MSW.

I plan on working with my Masters Degree in Social Work. I probably won't go on to earn my Ph.D. any time in the near future.
The dilema with changing schools for me is that I am a single mom with a six year old and there isn't another University nearby that offers the Masters degree I want to earn. My daughters dad isnt' in her life and I don't want to uproot her and change what she does have in her life that is consistent. Therefore, if it's possible to work into a career without changing schools, that is what I need to do. However, it going to the same Graduate school as Undergraduate school is going to lower my chances of succeeding in my field then I will just do what I have to do.

Some may disagree with me here. They'll say that it is vital to gain new insight from being a different place. The truth is: sure, you may gain some new insights, but after you're finished and applying for a job the difference is absolutely not a factor, unless the person reading your resume happens to be an alumnus.
The practical answer: not important
The theoretical answer: it's as important as you make it in your mind

properly, considering that Berkeley is prestigious, i'm confident you may actually attend a remarkable-notch college for graduate college. i might circulate that way. yet be sure you prepare to Stanford in any case--you may get some financial help. while it incorporates hire-capacity, once you get your first activity, this is not important the place you acquire the two your undergrad or your grad degree. So in basic terms your grad degree would be that important interior the tip.

Are you going for a PhD? If so, then it's very important. Otherwise, if you are just getting a Master's, it's not that critical. The switch is so you don't look like your "inbred", that is, going somewhere else gives more diversity in your education. You can do your undergrad and Master's at 1 school and PhD at another. That's perfectly acceptable.

It may depend on the quality of the Masters program. If you are after a speciality and you know another school has a better program for that specialty or for a Masters then it might be worth going to another school. Ultimately, it's what you learn that matters.

It is a matter of preference. However, it usually is a good idea because you will experience different professors and teaching methods. It was my experience that the undergrad and grad classes were pretty much the same, just a bit more intense, when I went to the same school. Needless to say, I transferred to another university for grad school.

If you are going to a great undergraduate school -- then it is not important at all.
But if you wanted a PhD, you should go to the best graduate school possible. Since you are stopping at the Master's level -- it is less important that you go to a different school.

It's not important. Stick with the same school if they offer what you are looking for. When you change colleges many times you lose credits or they don't accept classes you have taken since they don't fit their description.
