California State Polytechnic University-Humboldt

California State Polytechnic University-Humboldt's BSW program produced 39 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #172 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

52.9% 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. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (70.3% vs 50.0%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $14,090 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $15,523 median across the 25 BSW colleges in California. 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.
