Appalachian State University

Appalachian State University awarded 95 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, which ranks it #23 out of the 587 U.S. colleges that award the degree. That puts it among the larger BSW programs in the country — roughly 0.52% of every social work bachelor's degree awarded nationally comes from here.

74.0% of students here finish their degree, against a national median of 50.4% across the BSW colleges in this directory — a meaningful margin. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it.

The average student pays $14,978 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $15,045 median across the 23 BSW colleges in North Carolina. 26.0% of first-time students receive Pell Grants. Net price is the number that matters when comparing programs, not sticker tuition — and because most social work roles are with government or nonprofit employers, graduates are typically eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
