The BSW Program at Brigham Young University-Idaho

Brigham Young University-Idaho awarded 75 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, which ranks it #50 out of the 587 U.S. colleges that award the degree. That puts it among the larger BSW programs in the country — roughly 0.41% of every social work bachelor's degree awarded nationally comes from here.

51.1% 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 $8,528 a year after grants and scholarships — $7,389 below the $15,917 median across the 5 BSW colleges in Idaho. 23.0% 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.
