Upon looking at a couple of school i found behavioral science requirements. I kind of kicking myself in the butt for taking courses in economics and social work instead of psych and anthropology. I'm sure the answer is probably no, but think my social sciences would be viewed as acceptable for the requirement or shall i take summer classes next summer?

I wouldn't count on it. You've pretty much got the idea right...social sciences covers sociology, social work, conflict resolution while behavioral sciences is your psychology and (at my school) a few criminal justice classes.

Economics is a social science, but however no I wouldn't say it falls under behavior sciences. Psychology, sociology are the most popular social sciences, they are also relatively easy. *sociology you can arguable clep test out of with 2-3 days of reading a sociology text book*

Arguably no.

Do you have any behavioral econ mixed in there, or psychy social work (mental health or substance abuse issues etc)? I think some schools might be open to your econ classes, if you spun it right, even without a class in behavioral economics. You should just call and ask them. Definitely before taking a class you might not need.

Do philosophy and anthropology count?
