The BSW Program at Concordia University-Wisconsin

Concordia University-Wisconsin graduated 14 social work students in the most recent reporting year, placing it #357 of 587 BSW-awarding colleges. Small programs like this one tend to compete on individual attention and placement relationships rather than breadth.

53.3% 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. Unusually, part-time students complete at a higher rate here (63.0%) than full-time students (43.0%) — often a sign of a program built around people already working in the field. First-time entrants complete at 58.3% against 50.2% for transfers — worth checking how transfer credits map onto the practice sequence.

The average student pays $31,916 a year after grants and scholarships — $16,209 above the $15,707 median across the 16 BSW colleges in Wisconsin. 27.0% 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.
