The BSW Program at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania

East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania's BSW program produced 36 graduates in the most recent reporting year — #187 of 587 colleges awarding the degree nationally, putting it squarely in the middle of the field by size.

44.3% 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.

The average student pays $18,610 a year after grants and scholarships — $6,111 below the $24,721 median across the 35 BSW colleges in Pennsylvania. 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.

Figures from IPEDS, U.S. Department of Education. Completion and net-price comparisons are against the 618 BSW-awarding colleges in this directory.
