Brescia University

Brescia University graduated 16 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #328 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

43.0% of students complete their degree, below the 50.4% median across BSW-awarding colleges — worth asking the department about directly. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (49.8%) than full-time students (36.2%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $15,634 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $14,431 median across the 14 BSW colleges in Kentucky. 37.0% 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.
