Augsburg University

Augsburg University's BSW program produced 25 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #243 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

65.2% 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. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (71.0%) than full-time students (55.8%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $24,561 a year after grants and scholarships — $3,643 above the $20,918 median across the 17 BSW colleges in Minnesota. 70.0% of first-time students receive Pell Grants, a high share that usually reflects a student body with substantial financial need — and a financial aid office practiced at handling it. 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.
