Central Connecticut State University

Central Connecticut State University's BSW program produced 37 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #182 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

51.6% 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 $17,528 a year after grants and scholarships — $3,984 below the $21,512 median across the 8 BSW colleges in Connecticut. 47.0% 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.
