Colby-Sawyer College

71.4% of students here finish their degree, against a national median of 50.4% across the BSW colleges in this directory — a meaningful margin. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (75.5%) than full-time students (66.3%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (76.8% vs 65.3%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $27,496 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $26,248 median across the 3 BSW colleges in New Hampshire. 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.
