East Central University

East Central University's BSW program produced 33 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #199 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

34.9% 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. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (54.3% vs 28.3%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $8,565 a year after grants and scholarships — $3,845 below the $12,410 median across the 5 BSW colleges in Oklahoma. 48.0% 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.
