Colorado State University Pueblo

Colorado State University Pueblo's BSW program produced 25 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #244 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

35.5% of students complete their degree, below the 50.4% median across BSW-awarding colleges — worth asking the department about directly. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (39.2%) than full-time students (30.6%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field.

The average student pays $13,079 a year after grants and scholarships — $2,511 below the $15,590 median across the 5 BSW colleges in Colorado. 50.0% 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.
