The BSW Program at Brigham Young University-Hawaii

Brigham Young University-Hawaii's BSW program produced 38 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #181 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

57.2% of students complete their degree, close to the 50.4% median across BSW colleges nationally. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it.

The average student pays $12,410 a year after grants and scholarships — $4,792 below the $17,202 median across the 3 BSW colleges in Hawaii. 11.0% 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.

Figures from IPEDS, U.S. Department of Education. Completion and net-price comparisons are against the 618 BSW-awarding colleges in this directory.
